Try Me

Try Me is a wearable that measures the time a hug lasts and posts it to twitter.

Hugs are a very popular gesture. We hug to say 'hi!', to say 'see you later', to say 'i'd love to see you again' or 'i really missed you' and we give those different meanings by holding the hug longer. Try Me measures that time, figures out what the meaning of the hug can possibly be and posts it to my account in twitter. Follow www.twitter.com/bombonia.

Try Me has been showcased at the ITP Spring Show '09, the Studio IMC, MediaLounge and at the Gizmodo Show '09 in NYC.

Special thanks to Rory and Anaid.
