For a sport enthusiast, the atmosphere of the grandstand creates an out of body emotional experience during a live game. Often the adrenaline translates to actions of passion driven by complete consumption in the game. Enhancing the experience of televised sport, “Amped” invites viewers from outside of the grandstand to immerse themselves in this high atmospheric environment, through a multimodal experience. Stadium sensors combine with game data to measure and capture the crowd's emotional sentiment. This data feeds the control of haptic motors, transferring the emotion of the live audience directly onto the body, making the user feel as if they are in the midst of the stadium atmosphere.

Stadium drama is channelled through bluetooth to permeate the body via “Amped”.

Feel surrounded by the atmosphere of the grandstand even when alone.

Flexible silicone enables wearable comfort and easy removal.
