Hug Machine: Everyone needs a hug now and then. Unfortunately, not
everyone knows someone willing to fulfill that need. The Hug Machine
(or Squeeze Box) is designed to help hypersensitive people (usually
autistic) relax by applying deep pressure. The users lies, or squats
between the boards and controls an air compressor that "applys deep
pressure stimulation evenly across the lateral parts of the body." [Wikipedia]
The Hug Vest: Basically, the Hug Vest is a portable, wearable version
of the hug machine. Users can inflate air bladders within the vest at a
push of a button to simulate the feeling of a hug. [Theraputicsystems]
Endless Banana: Do you find the act of peeling a banana pleasurable? Me
neither, but the Japanese do apparently. That is why they created a toy
that simulates the experience—right down to the sound. That's
right...the SOUND. Actress Saki Fujita was assigned with the daunting
task of recording what a peeling banana sounds like. [kilian-nakamura via Link]
Yes Bubble wrap was on the list. This was a great article. To see the entire article on GOZMODO....
