A football helmet capable of detecting and communicating the force of an impact to the sidelines.
Concussions, particularly in football, can go unnoticed during the excitement of a game. Load sensors built into Force Helmet measure the impact sustained by a player, transmitting that data via Bluetooth to the sidelines, where coaches and medical personnel can make informed decisions about removing a player from a game for examination.

Beautiful handsewn shoes that incorporate plastic grocery bags and other recycled materials to achieve a surprising aesthetic that make a powerful statement. Wu set out to explore the use of plastic bags as an alternative material in the construction of softgoods. Using soles bought online, he fabricated the uppers from plastic bags fused to textiles, then styled the upper based on classic high-tops. The result is unique footwear made of discarded, everyday materials that are fashionable, edgy, attractive and fun.

Internet-connected lamps that enable partners in long-distance relationships to interact with each other non-verbally. From personal experience, both Caleb Wright and Delaney Winkler know that the absence of casual, non-verbal interactions make long distance relationships more difficult. Their pair of interactive, internet-connected lamps address this with proximity sensors that detect and communicate movement to a remote partner through subtle changes in both lamps, with gesture sensors that generate more emphatic light changes. Color controls on both lamps simultaneously change the color of both lamps. “It's a way of communicating your physical presence. It's a way to say, ‘I am thinking of you,’” says Delaney.
