概要

"Shabegurumi" is a touch device to be worn by a stuffed doll.  Shabegurumi is made of conductive fibers, so it keeps the gentle touch of the stuffed doll, while transforming the doll into an interactive digital gadget.

Shabegurumi detects the touch position via the clothes so that the doll can respond with various reactions depending on how it is touched.

Shabegurumi is an interface in the form of clothing, so you can put it on your child's favorite stuffed toy and watch their face light up with joy.
"Haptic" for children! That is "Shabegurumi".
