The interaction
Allow a person to feel another person’s heartbeat in the pillow over distance.
The materials
A pillow, polar heart strap, polar signal receiver, vibration motor.
The implementation
The polar heart strap records the heartbeat of the person wearing it and transmits it to wirelessly to an Arduino microcontroller. The signal is being redirected to a vibration motor in the pillow which resembles the recorded heartbeat in real time.
Our motivation
Social experiment. The concept could be expanded for distance communication. Wireless and nicely hidden technology. Combining sense of natural materials with technology.
