Check out these sweet slap bracelets designed by the Chocolate Agency. The thin bracelet is designed using E-paper technology that’s rather high in contrast. No need to worry about batteries either, the E-Paper Slap Bracelet is powered by kinetic energy, so movement from your wrist is all it needs.
Retro design with a tech twist!

E-paper technology? Sounds rather useful and interesting, since I’ve never heard about it before. Are we able to load our own images/designs on the bracelet? Or are they preset already? If they are able to have a build in Bluetooth transmitter to recieve images, that would be totally awesome. I haven’t seen the bracelet in physical form, but I’d actually wear one! Is it one size fit all? And what about the pricing?

Awesome!
Few years ago, I heard about the e-paper and their capabilities, but it’s amazing how it also could be powered by kinetic energy.
Hope when these bracelet finally release to public it will be so functional that it will replace all of our everyday electronic (cellphones/mp3 player) with style!
Also it will be so customizable due to the cool display, so every person can have a one-of-a-kind bracelet!
Not sure if this is the same thing as Aurora is saying but a few years ago too they had the newspaper that used the same technology and I thought that was pretty cool, they’re even thinking of a paper laptop monitor that is allowed to be curved. it’s pretty sweet. As for as the bracelet…
That’s the kind of bracelet that would be seen on sport players, or people working out at your regular gym since theres plenty of calories to burn. Though if you were to come in contact with a basketball or something hard and cracks the surface, it’ll be a pain to fix.
