This is an interactive project of sorts. It is an attempt to project empathic feelings towards someone else - via a transmitted, captured and synthesized heartbeat. Wouldn't this be so much better than one of those leashes you see for kids? Imagine, they get farther away, and you can sense it, physically, intuitively, rather than tying them to a leash. Or how about a baby monitor, or better yet, something so that the baby can feel like the mother is still nearby.
