Sweet Not Soft + Goodies

I can only imagine what the roller rinks of our future will have in-store for our spoiled youth. Back in the dizzay, the slap bracelets at my local rink were usually made of thin piece of aluminum wrapped in fabric. Using the same form, Chocolate Agency came up with a mini multimedia device that snaps on with a slap. The entire surface is E-Paper and possesses all its thin, high contrast, power efficient qualities. The length can be adjusted by adding magnetic snaps to the ends. Best part is there’s no recharging needed. It gets all the power it needs via kinetic energy so go ahead, go slap happy. “I’ll trade you some air hockey tokens and ten glow-sticks for your new fancy slap bracelet?” Can’t believe you said “yes”! Thank you.
