THE FUNCTION OF THE PULSE MODULE

I describe the “PULSE PACK” as being the platform that runs the SHE BON project. It connects everything with data and power, yada, yada…. but what is its function? Tell me more about this brain, right? When I first started daydreaming about the cortex of the whole project, it was a matter of aesthetic rather than function. I saw a mass of cables and wires branching out like veins from the upper back of a human… making the body look like a fruit waiting to be picked from a branch of some sort. I wanted to see lines spilling out from one location; the visual affirmation that everything has a definite point of origin. There were a few influences in my life that had my head in a particular place that month. One was a strange jaunt to a “fetish ball” I attended with a friend, and the other was…

SHE BON : PULSE PACK ENCLOSURE!

  The PULSE PACK is a wearable computing platform that orchestrates a collection of body augments, all part of the SHE BON project. These augments are individual systems that sense and indicate when the user’s body enters an “excited” state. Each system is designed for a particular region of the human body and uses various types of sensors to detect bio-data as input, and then communicate the user’s status with electronic and mechanical devices as output. You can think of the PULSE PACK as a wearable breakout board. Its primary function is to house the master circuit board, called the “Pulse”. This heart-shaped Pulse board sends power and data over a network of cables, much like a heart pumping blood to distant organs through a series of veins. Why would I have the platform which senses and triggers the indication of my arousal be a BIG. TRANSPARENT. PULSING. HEART-DRUM?……Well… it might…
