Touch your own back
Put your hands into these gloves attached to a machine and touch a water filled soft plastic model of your own back and your back is touched the same way so you can massage your back, it's an example of haptics and a scan of your back to make the shape correspond to the model you touch and felt on your back |

Okay, this is brilliant. [+] |

I'd just say "Massage your own back". |

Thank you doctorremulac3 for the kind words |

Another good use for the waldo. |

Maybe was thinking it could be in gym category but not sure where that is (on mobile so it's awkward) |

It's occurred to me that you could form a ring of people all touching each others backs in a ring shape. |

You touch the person Infront of you by how they're touching you |

I imagine this would play out like a cross between a game of Chinese whispers / Telephone and an Ouija board. |

When amputees have phantom pain or itching, they can set up a midline mirror to reflect the corresponding intact limb. While scratching/rubbing the intact limb, the amputee looks in the mirror to witness the touch; this tricks the brain into thinking that the phantom limb was scratched, and the itch/pain disappears. |

I wonder if your invention could somehow invoke the mirror neuron response, no batteries (electricity/haptic feedback) required. Interesting [+] |
