Fashion for the heart

Filed in archive Cool , Technology on March 21, 2006

An older entry from WMMNA but love it and think its thrilling: "The garments receives the heartbeat wavelength of your remote friend/lover/relative and transmits it as vibration through your garment."

So the question is: does the feel of another heartbeat creates a kind of emotional or physical "connectivity"?

How it works: Ether Beat are compatible garments that sense, process, transmit and receive the ECG wavelength. A singlet (Under Beat) houses the ECG electrodes and connects to either the scarf or the blouse.

In other words - a very special kind of social interface.
