Machina’s new groundbreaking modular technology “OBE” (Out of Body Experience), will be the first defacto platform that users can wear to interact with different use applications from sports, Virtual Reality, IoT, and health all through clothing. With patents approved in Mexico and the U.S., Machina is on the final R&D stage to use IoT to monitor health patients and high performance athletes.
