Developed by a group of MIT students this is a SOS Stress Outsourced networked wearable system that allows users to send and receive massages anonymously. A new type of haptic social networking (or social therapy), SOS allows stressed individuals to send anonymous signals via the wearable to a global social network. In response, individuals within the network calm the stressed victim by sending them a “massage” stroke.
Each wearable consists of:
• a Signaling module to alert the network you need some love
• Response module for the network to send you some love
• Massage module to receive a nice soothing massage via the virtual fingertips of your anonymous network. The closer the individual is geographically to you, the closer the virtual touch is felt on the spine.
