AHMEDABAD: Ever sat through a business meeting, dreaming of a relaxing massage to soothe your muscles? Ever had arthritic pain and wished buttoning up your shirt was easier? These may not remain mere wishes any longer, with students of the National Institute of Design (NID) creating special garments to make you feel better<\/p>\n
Prasenjit Kundu, a second year student of the faculty of apparel designing and merchandising has designed a jacket which will “massage” you \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d right in the middle of your all important board-room meeting, while driving, or even during a movie. This innovation, made of brown corduroy, has vibrators at the back and shoulders. If a massage is not enough to relax you, your favourite music on the click of a button, will do the trick. The right pocket of the jacket has a plug to attach an MP3 player or an iPod, the ear piece of which comes out right next to your ears.<\/p>\n
“This jacket gives a multi-sensory experience whi-ch will work as a stress-buster even if you are neck deep in work,” says Kundu. If Kundu\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s garment is a stress-buster, another student Neelam Prahugaonkar, has come up with a garment for deaf children. “This garment has a detachable pocket with a built-in circuit. This circuit will record small audio text like the students\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 name, school, teachers and address.” said Prabhugaonkar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
