If you’ve ever wanted to know just how infuriating a particular Dark Souls boss is, the Ankkoro smartband may one day be able to tell you. This Kickstarter smartband utilises four sensors to sense your emotional state and potentially inform the game or an entire audience of Twitch viewers how you feel - whether that’s happy, sad, stressed, worried, or even bored.

The Ankkoro bracelet monitors your body temperature, gestures and movements, skin reaction, and heart rate to create a constantly updating image of your emotional state. The creator’s believe this tech has the capacity for a huge range of applications, from game development to real-time events in-game.

Currently only a handful of titles are supported by the smartband. Four out of the six listed games are VR titles, which the creators believe will separate the bracelet from other biometric devices. After all, Ankkoro isn’t the first of its kind, but while others were often head-mounted - and therefore incompatible with VR - Ankkoro isn’t so limited due to its location on your wrist.

These games will directly interact with the information provided by the smartband in a variety of ways - from saving short clips when your emotions spike, to actually changing how the game plays to infuriate or scare you. The project also outlines uses for developers in game-testing for the most frustrating areas of a game or experience, and Twitch integration, allowing you to share your emotional state with your viewers.
