Microsoft Is Researching a Bra. Well, a Smart Bra.

There’s a good reason for that. According to Microsoft, a bra is close to the heart. You know what else it’s close to? The stomach, that’s what.

The BBC reports that researchers from Microsoft’s visualisation and interaction research group designed a bra that’s able to detect emotions. This comes after the reveal of Sony’s smart wig project.

The bra was outfitted with a gyroscope and an accelerometer as well as an electrocardiogram and electro-dermal sensors to monitor stress. The bra communicated with a smartphone app to help track moods and stop emotional over-eating.

Don’t look for this Microsoft smart bra to hit stores anytime soon.

Said Microsoft researcher Asta Roseway, ā€œIt was very tedious for participants to wear our prototyped sensing system, as the boards had to be recharged every three to four hours.ā€
