Simulated Aging Suit of the Day: MIT’s Agelab has created a special suit that, instead of enhancing the wearer’s natural capabilities, actually makes it harder to see, hear and move.
The suit, called AGNES (Age Gain Now Empathy System), includes straps that attach to the wearer’s arms and legs, making walking and lifting things more difficult, plus earplugs and goggles that create partial loss of hearing and eyesight.
The Agelab created AGNES to simulate the experience of being 75 years old, allowing designers to test their products to see if they’ll work for elderly users.
Take a look at the suit in use after the jump.
