Seamlessly Connected

Embrace--by Lisa Thomas and Jonathan Fitch--is a concept bracelet that enables the user to be seamlessly connected to their significant other over periods of separation. It consists of five nodes: an LCD screen displaying images sent via Bluetooth; battery; technical components that fuel this device; a camera lens that constantly records images until the user specifically shoots an image by gently grasping each side of the lens node, which uses "touch sensitive" technology; and a scent palette that emits one of five odors chosen by the owner of the device indicating an incoming image from their significant other.

For example, when you receive the scent of pina-coloda, others may be able to smell it as well, but only you will really know why it smells like pina-coloda. The shape of Embrace allows the bracelets to unite with one another. Related: Fragrance delivery brooch set, Digital fragrances. [blogged by Regine on we-make-money-not]
