Scientists seem to be in a hurry to compute everything as is evident from the endeavors of EU in devising a Sensor Vest to measure the amount of stress computer gamers, sports person, and athletes subject themselves to. This project called “CONTEXT” is a brainchild of biomedical scientists at Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, who needed an inconspicuous measuring tool for stress studies. The idea embraces working out an electronic vest that reads muscle tension, determines the level of physical stress, and pacifies it at any point of time. This is done by the sensors woven into a fabric and some very thin metallic fibers within the vest. Interestingly, it’s the twitching effect that forms the hub of the concept. That’s not all, developers look forward to make this concept a foolproof, adding water and perspiration resistance to it. It’s a great innovation that could prove tremendously beneficial for the sports coaches making their instruction far better than customary.
