Combating Flu With Straphanger
It’s a fact of life that germs are everywhere, and in the
hypersensitive world of hand-sanitizer and fist bumps, Straphanger
is a jacket that could prevent your next cold. e jacket, part of a
campaign from Chicago’s gravitytank, involves antibacterial
patches to protect the wearer and other passengers from the germs
that are spread on public transportation. PSFK

e Winter Touchscreen Solution
Since touchscreens came to mobile, the cold has always been a
problem. Nanotips, a Kickstarter project that raised five times
the funding it was seeking, looks to provide the solution with a
nail polish like liquid that acts like the touch of a human finger.
e idea is that nanotips will give all gloves the ability to
interact with touchscreens, rather than spending a fortune on
touchscreen specific gloves. MASHABLE
