The Em Brace was designed to sense the electromagnetic radiation that is around us all, being emitted from a myriad of electronic devices. The EM Brace translates the detected radiation and converts it into vibrations that allow the user to sense its presence.
Our electronic objects reach out to us by creating low frequency electromagnetic fields. These ubiquitous frequencies penetrate and permeate our bodies at the molecular level, so spatially intimate experiences with electronics can be understood as the merging of our physical bodies with the their electromagnetic embrace. As we humans have no natural means of sensing these frequencies, the EM Brace provides a way to physically experience these frequencies by combining two of our natural senses, touch and hearing.
The EM Brace can even allow the user to navigate around electromagnetic radiation, avoiding a lot of local active sources. The video after the break shows it in action. [more]
