thanks for all the interest on the coin-slot detector!!! thinking about ways to make the intimate spaces on the body intelligent. they tell you what they're feeling and you make the decision to act on that or not...like your coin-slot hangin out. do you pull your pants up? or let it all hang out? more wearables to come! check back for more soon!
