UK: Failure at flirting? Get game with Ripple, the wearable tech that senses your suitors

OKcupid, Tinder and Grindr might just be the dating tech of the past, as Ripple, a wearable device that lets you know when potential suitors are giving you the eye, sends waves through the streets of London. Expounding on the concept of their creation from a studio at the Royal College of Arts in London on Wednesday, the designers explained that Ripple is “kind of like your friend on your back …, amplifying your natural intuition as far as when people are interested in you.“ It does this by using cameras embedded in the tentacular design, recognising when people are looking, how long they look for, and the number of times they pay attention to you. Once Ripple realises you have a suitor, it will begin to send small ripples down your back. Video ID: 20170329 036 Video on Demand: Contact: cd@ Twitter: Facebook:
