| 1211685 | 2011-06-24 16:44:00 | Not enough connubial bliss in your life? The new Japanese Sense-Roid (www.smartplanet.com) jacket allows you hug yourself. Yes, you read that right. You can hug yourself. (Let’s leave aside the question of whether this would make you feel better … or worse.) VIDEO (i.bnet.com) In order to use Sense-Roid, you put on a jacket that contains 36 pager motors that can vibrate and several air compressors. The jacket is connected by wire to a headless torso that sits on a stick. ( Not this stick (i407.photobucket.com) ) To get your self-hug, you walk up to the headless torso and begin hugging and stroking it. The torso, which is outfitted with pressure sensors, observes the pressure and placement of your hug and strokes and sends a signal to your jacket to re-create the same sensations back to you through the jacket. |
