Bond Touch More by Impossible Labs
Project Details
The smart necklace where you to record, feel and keep heartbeats. Feel your loved one's heartbeat forever.
The Bond Touch More is an enhanced version of the original Bond Touch long-distance bracelet. As part of the design development, our goal was to make the device capture and replicate more realistic, natural touch simulation compared to the old device. To this end, we combined full surface touch with two precise LRA haptic motors. The effect is a sophisticated ‘3D’ effect of simulated touch, allowing us to capture unique gestures such as stroking and varying pressures of touch. The device is also easy to customise with a quick-release anodised aluminium frame, accepting alternative strap designs and styles.
Responsibilities
Industrial Design
3D design - shape and physical UI studies
Prototyping - Rigorous iterative mechanical design development, proof of concept designs, “looks like, works like” model making.
Design for manufacture - bio-compatible material selection
Colour, Material & Finish - precious metal material selection for necklace bands.
Product visualisation- renders
Packaging Design
Structural packaging design and die lines
Colour, Material and Finish
Design Miniturisation
As part of the design process, we went through an exhaustive process of component selection and testing; The Bond touch More is the only wearable in the world with two distinct LRA vibrators, combining to produce a realistic 3D vibration effect across the surface - to this end, the enclosure and parts were rigorously tested to create a perfectly balanced sensation.
