Just like the Many that are out there.
Mic Fleetwood had one designed for him by Jimmy Hotz in Cali. Back in
the eighties. http://www.hotz.com/about/index.htm
Laurie Anderson uses one in some of her performances. Also by Jimmy
Hotz, I think.
Mark Congnolio at Troika Ranch has also built one called MIDI DANCER.

The folks at DEIM in dk have also a developed a suit.

I'm working on one in Austin Texas.
I think some mention of Craig Anderton should be made here. His
book...Digital Projects for Musicians was the first book written on
how to build a MIDI "brain" box. All these "suits" use a type of
Microprocessor brain box.
Anyone care to add to this....
