Can you feel the beating of your heart? When was the last time you felt it pound, or skip a beat? Was it from excitement? Fear? Attraction?
Can we interact with people on a deeper level by tuning in to a whole new channel of body language? The concept behind my doki-doki is to enable you to see and feel your heartbeat and share the experience with others. By providing a visceral expression of your heartbeat, my doki-doki creates a new kind of self-awareness and a unique opportunity to connect with others. Quicktime Video - 2MB |

The device takes the form of a translucent bean-shaped orb that is an externalization of the heart itself. A soft glow and a gentle vibration undulates through the unit in time with the beating of your heart. Your heart rate is measured in real time through a sensor placed on the tip of your finger, and wirelessly sent to the orb from a wrist-mounted transmitter.
my doki-doki is a fun, new way to connect. By making the internal external, my doki-doki allows you to literally wear your heart on your sleeve. Take your relationships to a whole new level... |
