EVERYONE NEEDS A BUDDY
There is a media and devices war being waged on our mental wellbeing. Individually, collectively and of course, in work environments as well.
What if our devices did not aggressively attack us, alarm us and stress us out even more?
What if they were not designed to get our attention for commercial gain?
Allow HACKMASTERS to Introduce
Gentle soft almost invisible light under the white skin.
Soft highly targeted haptic language taps that require less cognition.
A non-visual, non-verbal wellbeing wearable that uses haptic feedback as a language for communication and stress management.
Buddy is super smart super aware of all the user’s context and the stressors and comforters in their lives.
It only communicates in 3 modes in our brutally simplistic haptic language. Light, Squeeze and Vibrate to mediate a range of support to the user.
Empathy is something you feel, not see.
Empathy is something you feel
We’ve added a skeuomorphic button at the top. Almost invisible and non-intrusive.
The making of Buddy
Made by hand in 3 days in our studio.
Using our proprietary sensor platform: HACKMASTERS Sensi.
3D printed from 2 materials:
Rubber and Silicon to give it a skin-like texture and make it minimally disruptive.
Added a skeuomorphic button at the top. Non intrusive, almost invisible.
