The EM Brace, a thesis project by Nick Hasty, is a wearable device that lets you experience electromagnetic radiation emitted by devices and gadgets that are around us.
Cell phones, computers, power tools - pretty much everything with electronic components emit electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) that pass through our bodies unnoticed. Nick's device translates EMF into vibrations that can be felt by the wearer.

Vibrating your body with high-amplitude / low frequency sound energy is also medically contra-indicated. I hope his device has a volume control. By the way I'm going to a heavy metal concert today. It's contra-indicated.

The machine won't detect gamma rays, gamma rays are above the visible spectrum, the stuff everyone's afraid of is below it.

The finger magnet was cooler.

Like we need another reason for kooks to claim that they are somehow "sensitive" to it.... I would like to know what kind of frequency response the thing has -- as Sofar noted, radio waves of some frequency are (almost) everywhere on Earth. This thing oughta be vibrating like a marital aid plugged into a 220V outlet.

it's been done before. in a far more integrated and ergonomic way, too.
