Helen’s Vest<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The hand pump inflates<\/strong> the heart shaped organ. Inflating the heart tightens the vest, offering physical security to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motor pump inflates <\/strong>the collar. The inflated collar offers comfort and protection around the neck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why inflate the collar?<\/strong> The inflation of the collar creates comfort and protection. The comfort comes from the collar’s similarity to a travel pillow. The protection comes from the fact that the inflated collar shields a vulnerable area. Often when people are anxious, their hand goes to their neck as a subconscious way to protect themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still to do: <\/strong>add more movement and textiles to the collar to enhance the effect, finishing touches on the body of the vest, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am planning to use an inflatable pouch motor to slowly rise the way a garage door does to reveal the safety kit underneath. See a prototype perform that here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
