There is a pulse sensor tucked under the sleeve of the jacket, to be pulled out and banded around the finger to measure pulse rate.
Wires connect the sensor to an Lilypad Arduino, Lithum Ion Battery and LiPower LED Lights that have been tucked into a hidden pocket in the jacket’s right chest area.

On the court, in the pool, or out on the field. Such exuberance and energy packed in every stroke you pull. Each movement marks a dance on the court; a painting of grit and grace in your inexorable quest for perfection.
– PHOWM SPORTS
For all simplicity and complexity, PHOWM aims to record movement as a work of Art.
Bluetooth connects the sensor to the computer and data visualisation can be seen on screen.
An athlete’s movement, intangible energy that disappears as quickly as it generates, can thus be translated into and recorded as a wispy animation on screen.
Because who can resist a splash of water?
After much trial and experimentation, certain changes were made to the final garment for better aesthetics.
