To build our prototype we used colored paper for the vest and the bracelet, colored tape to imitate the LED strip on both, foam core for the bracelet haptic sensor, and thread around a piece of cardboard in the back of the vest for the motor. The motor will activate the vest to either inflate (if we'll use such a system) or adjust the strings on both sides of the vest (i.e. Nike shoe) to compress against the body enough to make the person comfortable.

A mini stepper motor, would go on the back of the vest, which will allow the strings to compress / decompress.
