Let's Talk is a feature that I want to start here on Saturdays. It gives us an opportunity to chat!
What books did you read this week?
See any movies?
Anything you would recommend?
Did you come across any cool new blogs this week that you think I need to check out?
Did something hilarious happen to you that you just have to share?
Whatever it is, I want to know. I want us to chat! In these posts, I will also update you on some of my weekly events as well!
I am really trying to find a solid way to reach out and connect more with my readers! So please help me along with this feature, and Let's Talk!
This week has been so busy for me! Full of some Yoga goodness, too! Aside from that though, my manager shared a really weird wacky interesting article with me at work Friday, and I just couldn't wait to share it with you. It's called Sensory Reading and it's a vest that you would wear that what makes us FEEL exactly what the characters we are reading about feel. SAY WHAT? No jokes here friends!
From NPR.org
"You know the power of a great book. It transports you, taking you into another place and time. But if well-written prose and the power of your imagination aren't enough, a few clever engineers at MIT have come up with a wearable vest that hooks up to an e-book to enhance your reading experience even more".
Sounds pretty cool, but I couldn't even imagine me wearing one of these while reading The Fault in Our Stars or The Book Thief, or ANY Nicholas Sparks book. I would feel sorry for any poor soul near me having to witness this:

or this

or any other feels I experience during a novel!
What are YOUR thoughts on this high tech vest thingy? Would you want one or at least want to try it?

That is just a little bit too creepy. I don't understand how a vest can help you feel things more, but why would you want to increase your sadness at reading a sad book?
ReplyDeleteThat vest is a terrible idea, I think!
ReplyDeleteEvery reader experiences the emotions and occurrences in every book on different levels. I'd hate to impose a certain level of emotion on someone, or prohibit how they would have felt it. Also, I get kind of annoyed in romance books when their hearts won't stop fluttering, although it's a fantastic sensation in real life :)
This is definitely giving me something to think about! By the way, I love NPR.
It's not an actual emotional feeling that they inspire it's all physical.
ReplyDelete"-Light (the book cover has 150 programmable LEDs to create ambient light based on changing setting and mood)
Sound
-Personal heating device to change skin temperature (through a Peltier junction secured at the collarbone)
-Vibration to influence heart rate
-Compression system (to convey tightness or loosening through pressurized airbags)"
If you can't be bothered feeling sad about the character then you won't. But if the character is feeling a shortness of breath cause say, they are crying or running etc, then you'll have a slight shortness of breath. I would just find it uncomfortable and awkward if I couldn't stand the character lol.
