Wearable electronic clothing is nothing new to the tech world, but this is the first time we can recall a company commercially releasing a product specifically made to control your MP3 player through your clothing. The China Coin is a blinking, sparkling wearable control inspired from the old Chinese coins from the Han Dynasty.
The China Coin is 100% washable and is made of a soft polymer for easy integration into clothing. It’s powered directly from your iPod’s battery, so there is no need for any extra battery power, and only uses about 5% of the batteries capacity, which is a small price to pay for a cool lit clothing control device. — Andrew Dobrow
