Wearable book lets you experience characters' emotions

Features
By published

This 'wearable' book is a completely new way of reading - allowing you to 'experience' characters' feelings and emotions.

When reading a book, you can only imagine the emotions of your favourite character but what if you could actually 'feel' their pain and happiness? This new augmented, wearable book is an entirely new way to read, using clever techniques to do just that.

Wearing a vest, it will tighten around the reader's chest if the character is afraid or create vibration patterns to increase heart rate if the character is feeling excited. If the protagonist is feeling upset or depressed, ambient lighting is produced to reflect the mood. Would you give it a go?
