Not to be outdone by current Sony PSP PR, Nintendo has been demonstrating some of the cool wireless tech in its new DS handheld console.

Alex Soza’s Bionic Jacket is clever. Very clever. And it only needs a teeny tiny 6V battery.

In contrast at high temperatures, the material shrinks all the way down to two millimetres to allow body heat to escape.. The jacket contains a micro computer that monitors the temp. Inside the jacket…

The Inveteratus Watch. There’s something superbly delicious about creating a concept timepiece that measures the passing of the hours by cycling through television listings.
