blindfolds

Ok. So I've finally picked something to actually go forward with: Blindfolds
I found a couple of problems with blindfolds that are available on the market today:

-flat blindfolds can put pressure on the eyes, smearing the wearer's makeup and leaving them unable to blink

-unless the blindfold is put on tight (which causes the pressure on the eyes) it can come off during intercourse.

And here are just a few ideas that have been thinking about...

-Blindfolds made from biometric fabric (a smart technology fabric that can sense the wearer's mood from their temperature and sweat). The fabric could use bendable, stretchable circuits that would display your partner's state of arousal on the inside of your blindfold through a dim, colour-changing light. Or the light could be on the outside of the blindfold displaying the wearer's state of arousal for the partner (if only one person is blindfolded)

-Blindfolds made from a flexible OLED screen that could display images onto the outside of the blindfold, so that while one partner's visual senses are completely stripped, the other's is amplified.

-Blindfolds made from one-way vision vinyl that allows one partner to be able to still see the wearer's eyes, while the wearer is still blind

-a strapless blindfold that has a waterproof silicone adhesive on the edge, so that it will stay on even through.....rigourous exercise

Through research I've done today, the idea of "sex sells" came in my mind. Why is it that people are so intrigued by erotic ads or products, but not by sex toys?

sex sells, yanko design

on a side note...

i was thinking about something like this, and found out it's already been done.

Some further interesting things I've been running into

I posted my research portion on my id history blog, just talking about the opinions I had gotten from asking people what they though of sex toys (mostly men)...

For next time, I'm going to try to ask more in depth/personal question (if they're willing to answer them and don't feel awkward) and obviously, ask women as well.

As I've been just searching the internet, I came across an interesting product called the ButtKicker. It seems like its a product that is targeted to men, and is a device you put under your chair that makes it vibrate in tune with a video game that they're playing, a movie, or music. Sound familiar?

Some interesting things :) (from the first class)

Ohmibod commercial:

Ohmibod's boditalk works like the ipod vibrator, except it vibrates to when you are using your cellphone

A funny youtube video about using the wii as a sex toy:

And this is just a trailer of shortbus, my inspiration for this project... By the way, the director of this film also acted and directed Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which is also, a great movie.
