Common Questions

Is it safe?

Similar devices are commonly used in physical therapy. Also, this is a research project, not a commercial product.

electrostimulation

Yes, it moves your body.

Sixth-Sense does this by stimulating your vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation.

GVS

Shifting your balance causes you to stumble in the shifted direction. This is called Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS).

Why???

It's funny. Also this is a very budget version of spidey sense.

(marvel please don't sue me.)
