Description: M-Hair is a novel method for providing tactile feedback by stimulating only body hair. By applying passive magnetic materials to the body hair, these become responsive to external magnetic forces/fields, creating a new opportunity for interactions, such as enriching media experiences and evoking emotional responses through this subtle stimulation.
