Very inspirational!

If you looked at their launch page, you’d see that they’re making new foams as well, which requires new manufacturing tools.

I’d only be interested if they made the output hackable into an if this then that sort of format (program your phone to search happy pictures when you’re sad, switch playlists depending on mood, etc)

As far as I can tell, all they are doing is buying NeuroSky’s necomimi headsets, rebranding them, and manufacturing a line of fur ear covers.

It’s hardly that innovative, and worthy of a kickstarter? I dunno. There are plenty of replacement ear shells available at anime conventions and I’m sure on etsy.

You can buy them at Urban Outfitters for about $100.
