Day 4: More pants + etc.
Today I sketched out version three of my suit pants that prevent people from crossing their legs, and the answer was velcro. Like the magnet socks prototype, this wearable functions by sticking the wearer's legs together, but instead of using positive reenforcement like the socks, these pants demonstrate negative reenforcement. One would be able to uncross his/her legs after the velcro sticks, but not without drawing unwanted attention (from the action and the resulting noise).
I also started thinking about how I might build out a physical device that detects leg bouncing (which I wasn't very successful at last semester). I drew out a diagram of a small tube containing two metal probes and a metal washer that completes the circuit if it comes into contact with the probes. Not sure, but this might work.
