Future of Senses:

Sensory Wristbands

Spring 2026


We journeyed through time to see how people have used their sense of touch to feel calm—from ancient tools like worry beads, worry dolls, and Baoding balls to modern fidget toys and weighted blankets. Then we imagined the future and designed and built our own sensory wristbands using texture, motion, and response. We became inventors, thinking about how our creations could help people feel safe, focused, and relaxed.
