Friendship Bracelet

Heiki Reinmann

Based on the needs of the hearing impaired an idea sprang up which could be applicable also among a wider audience. The device made up of a bracelet and electronic modules is designed to imitate calling a friend in the distance of up to 100 metres. A module identical to the similar one belonging to a friend is placed in the bracelet and both modules are activated. When buttons on the sides of the module are pressed, a module denoting a caller would vibrate and shine on a friend’s bracelet. One bracelet can hold many friends’ modules. The device works well in crowded places like concerts and shopping malls where it is not possible to make voice contact because of noise or distance.
