Can two people touch the sleeve at the same time without ghost inputs?

Yes. Each of the 5 sewn fabric pads uses its own independent touch channel, so simultaneous taps on Pad 1 (elbow) and Pad 5 (wrist) register cleanly.

How do I change the Instagram handle or message that scrolls when Player 2 wins?

Open the Sleeve Studio app, type or speak your new winning banner in plain words, and tap Send over Bluetooth in seconds.

What happens if someone spills a drink on the sleeve at the bar?

Unsnap and slide the sealed 8×32 LED and Bluetooth pod out of the inner pocket in 5 seconds, hand-wash the sleeve in cold water, and hang dry.

2-Player Forearm Bar Pong Game on a Wearable 8×32 LED & Touch Sleeve

Set your forearm flat on the bar and launch a 2-player 1D Pong rally across 256 RGB LEDs ($199):

2 players, 1 sleeve: Player 1 taps Pad 1 (elbow), Player 2 taps Pad 5 (wrist) — the pixel ball speeds up every volley until someone misses.
Built for wet bar tops: Keep your phone dry in your pocket; the 8×32 LED & Bluetooth pod slides out in 5 seconds so you can cold-wash the fabric.
Pre-loaded & customizable: Ships as Mode #01 of 50 built-in modes; swap in your own win banner or @handle in the Sleeve Studio app.

Why It Beats Handing Your Phone Across a Bar

Instant crowd magnet: A glowing 32-column light rally racing between elbow and wrist is designed to read from roughly 15 feet away.
Zero phone risk: Never hand an unlocked $1,200 glass screen over spilled drinks — 5 sewn copper-nickel fabric pads take the hits instead.
Peer-reviewed textile roots, shipping hardware: The Oct 2026 NUS Nature paper coined “garment GUI” with a lab-only woven pixel fibre (not for sale); our shipping $199 sleeve uses 5 sewn conductive-fabric pads and a removable 8×32 LED pod.
