Touch: sensitive apparel

Touch?Sensitive is a haptic apparel that allows massage therapy to be diffused, customized and controlled by people while on the move. It provides individuals with a sensory cocoon. Made of modular garments, Touch?Sensitive applies personalized stimuli. We present the design process and a series of low fidelity prototypes that lead us to the Touch?Sensitive Apparel.
