Bond by Kwamecorp has essentially taken the common friendship bracelet and brought it into the 21st century. It is a hi-tech wearable module that allows people to connect with long distance pals in a more immediate and tangible way than a silly poke on Facebook.
Worn either on the wrist as a bracelet or around the neck as a necklace, Bond by Kwamecorp responds to touch. Essentially, when one wearer touches their module, its pair lights up on the other end. At the same time, a bit of a tickle is also transferred. The length of this tickle depends on how long the corresponding module was stroked. This is a beautiful yet simple reminder that loved ones are thinking of them.
Bond by Kwamecorp is currently vying for funds on Indiegogo.
