Rock-Paper-Scissors Bar-Bet Judge on a Wearable 8×32 LED & Touch Sleeve
Tap Pad 1 at your elbow to cycle Player A's hidden throw, tap Pad 5 at your wrist to lock Player B's throw, and the 8×32 RGB LED matrix splits into two 16×8 icon panels that reveal both hands and flash a pixel winner banner on your washable $199 sleeve.
- Fair reveal, 1 sleeve: Pad 1 and Pad 5 cycle each player’s hidden throw behind a scrambled icon, then the matrix flips both hands face-up and crowns the winner.
- Built for a 95 dB bar: Settle the bet on sewn fabric pads that shrug off spilled drinks — no trusting a stranger’s screen or arguing over a shaky camera.
- Pre-loaded & customizable: Ships as one of 50 built-in modes; add a fourth throw or custom stakes in the Sleeve Studio app.

Why Shouting Rock-Paper-Scissors Over a 95 dB Bar Fails Without a Referee
- An impartial referee: Both players watch the same pixel reveal at the same instant, so a loud room can’t argue over who threw what.
- Gesture-safe on wet hands: 5 sewn copper-nickel pads keep working after a spilled round — no glass screen to risk across the table.
- 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.
What Each Forearm Pad Does (Pads 1–5)
Customize in 30 seconds: Pick this mode in the Sleeve Studio app, type or speak new words, colors, or pad actions, and tap Send over Bluetooth — no code.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the sleeve decide who wins if both players tap at the same time?
- Pad 1 (Player A) and Pad 5 (Player B) each use their own touch channel, so both taps register independently and a genuine tie replays the round instead of guessing.
- Can I change the throws or add a fourth option like lizard and Spock?
- Yes. Open the Sleeve Studio app, edit the throw list in plain English, and send it over Bluetooth in under 10 seconds.
- What happens if a drink spills on the sleeve mid-bet?
- Unsnap and slide the sealed 8×32 LED and BLE module out of the inner pocket in five seconds, rinse the matte-black compression sleeve in cold water, and hang it to dry.
