“O” is a mystery gadget or may be just a concept that sounds too nice to be true. The “O” is a communication device that is operated by squeezing gestures.
Those users who have an “O” will just need to squeeze it to send messages to each other. And messages are transmitted via Bluetooth technology wirelessly. “O” should work more or less like a mobile phone. And the receiving “O” will flash in various colors and vibrate a little bit to let the receiver know that the sender is thinking about them.
“O” is thought to establish emotional communication channels between friends, relatives or people that are sentimentally involved. The gesture performed by squeezing “O”’s body using the palm of our hands is declinable in a series of perceptive interpretations such as a handshake, a caress, a sensual touch, and it triggers the communication between two “O”s: when we apply pressure to it a signal is propagated to a destination “O”, which reacts with the patterns of vibration and color configured for the specific person sending the sensorial message.
“O” sounds rather abstract, which is hard for us to figure out at the moment. You can find out more from the “O” website. But it seems to be a finished product as the website accepts buyers. “O” is shaped like an egg, the dissected diagram shows “O” isn’t too difficult to make one. Inside the “egg” are those Bluetooth circuits and compression sensors to detect squeezing gestures. And also others handle the charging of “O”.

I wonder if this gadget is still in the market. I like this kind of “thoughtful” technology. Nice to give as gift to our love ones.
