Presentation
Sensebridge is a small maker company that emerged out of the cyborg group at noisebridge. It’s most popular product is the North Paw compass anklet kits, which give wearers a sense of direction by persistently vibrating on the north side of the ankle. Due to the plasticity of the brain, wearers rapidly cease to feel the vibrations, and instead develop an intuitive sense of direction, with some even claiming a ‘six sense’ type of integration resulting in a feeling that they can never get lost. Are we natural born cyborgs?
