A Mind-Reading Toy
Today I read the news and I found out about a new toy, a "mind-reader".
It detects your pulse with the sensors in the headband, using new technology. Then it interprets what you are feeling depending on your heart rate, and it changes the color of the light on the front of the headband to tell others how you are feeling. The maker of the toy says it isn't very dependable yet, and that they will improve the sensors soon.
The purpose of this toy is to make parties more "fun", breaking the ice without the need of traditional icebreaker games that kind of ruin the point and make everyone feel awkward. The device is supposed to lighten the mood and the atmosphere, since it looks pretty funny on the person's head, too.
In conclusion, I think this new toy is pretty cool!
