OBE which stands for Out of Body Experience is a family of five wearable controllers and sensors that are designed to be embedded into clothing and fabrics.
The concept was born in 2015 during a hackathon with the KER our own hardware that works as the brain of our immersive clothing with a waterproof and flexible case, motion sensors, piezoelectric, and other electronic components already used on our best selling the MIDI Jacket with the idea to make a full body immersive controller for Virtual Reality.
After the success of the hackathon we pursed the concept and we made a MVP (minimum viable prototype) working with Unity and made a video to raised money and apply to Intel's Make It Wearable Competition.
OBE WAS DESIGNED WITH MACHINA'S TECHNOLOGY ALLOWING TO EXTEND THE EXPERIENCE TO MAKE OBE A UNIVERSAL IMMERSIVE CONTROLLER.
THE MISSING PIECE TO COMPLETE THE FULL IMMERSION EXPERIENCE IN VR
To make OBE Technology possible and from the manufacturing stand point we design a modular sensors and controllers designed to easily be embedded into any piece of clothing or accessory.
The first to be released is the M.BOT v1.0 or Machina Bot a smart controller compatible with all Machina garments.
With a simple tap to our M.Bot controller, you can use it as a panic button and at the same time control music, lights, answer phone calls, smart notifications and even use it as a selfie button. A few gestures personalized by you, keep you connected and amplified.
*** New features will be updated constantly to have intelligent clothing for a better you.
To have a better understanding of how it works this video demonstrates some real use cases.
The M.BOT v1.0 is compatible with all Machina garments so users don't have to buy our technology every time. Users are able to switch their device within their favorite Machina garment.
Here you can see all the products compatible with the M.BOT v1.0
