    Wired Look&Feel 

    This is the first look&feel prototype with wires. The bunny has an LED on the head and a vibration motor inside. On the other side, I have my plushy socks with a force resistor inside. When I hug my socks, the bunny’s head light up and it vibrates.

    As the first tester, I think it achieves to give the feeling of presence with the vibration. It feels like there’s a sign of life in there. The next step is to get this wireless. Fingers crossed!

      I know it’s just a prototype but I like the idea of one of the objects being a sock. one of the things I instantly associate with childhood attachment to your parents is their clothes and all the different aspects of it, touch, smell, etc, for example having memories playback in your mind when you smell something that is exactly like the aftershave your dad used to use or the perfume your mom used to use.
