Machina is a clothing brand company specializing in wearable technology based in Mexico City and San Francisco, accelerated by Highway1 and Wayra.[1]

The company attempted to make a MIDI controlling jacket. A 2012 review in TechCrunch called the jacket "a cool concept and an interesting and kinetic way to trigger and control beats and sounds."[2] The company was founded in 2011 by Linda Franco, Antonio Perdigón, and Daniel Fernández de Córdova.[3][4]

A Kickstarter project in 2013 produced a prototype, with a delay of almost a year behind the projected delivery date. Since then, there have been no substantial updates and the announced open-source hardware has not materialized. As of 2017, the company has been developing developing OBE, a jacket for virtual reality with accelerometers and vibration motors.[5]
