Recently the “Real Network” as taking and touching each other has been dropping behind because social network has come to the fore.
We came up with a device which makes a time that people talk and touch each other visible could promote offline network.
Then we focused on “Hand Holding” with a close person.
Sometimes with a person whom you are interested, with a person whom you are close. You can concentrate on a talk without a smartphone while walking.
It is a little shy, but must be the moment everyone feels excited.
We incubated the device which re-increases the “Real Network Time” by visualizes and records a time of holding hands walking time with someone close.
Turned on by “Touching”.
“Tsunagari Manpokei” is not a normal pedometer. It is turned on by touching, detects hands are held, and records “a hand-holding time while walking” as steps.
Magneto metric sensor is included in protruding parts. How to use this device.
1. Put the device on a ring finger.
2. Holds hand with interlocking a ring finger.
3. Protruding parts are interacted and the device is turned on.
*Smart Phone Accerelation sensor is used in a prototype.
The concept of this device is “Two as one”. Designed to create unlimited patterns by combining.
STEP1: Put the ring on a ring finger.
STEP2: A device will be turned on by hand-holding. Swinging holed hands will be counted as steps.
STEP3: Now let’s hold hands and walk to make a special memory for just two of you!
The device is synced to with an application. Dates, steps and locations are recored and an illustration is shown up if steps are more than a certain level(It is said “Level up").
The level up illustration expresses how deeper two people have got close. The more people walk, the deeper relationship is shown by the illustration.
For the memory of the time you spend with someone precious. For an excuse to ask out and get along with a person whom you are interested.
“Tsunagari Manpokei” is a device for increasing “Real Network” by holding hands walking.
