Description

Valentine's Day is on the horizon, and it's time to express your love in a way that's as unique as your bond. Introducing the DIY Beating Heart project, a symbol of your affection, handcrafted by you. Powered by TITAN Core and DRAKE haptic motors, this isn't just a gift—it's an experience.

Details

What Does It Do?

Imagine the surprise and delight as your partner holds the heart, feeling the rhythm of your love through the haptic feedback. With its integrated Bluetooth technology, you can also set the beat to your favorite song, creating a heart that acts as a speaker and dances to your love's unique tune. But why stop there? Take it a step further by embedding the electronics into a plush toy, transforming it into a cuddly keepsake that literally beats with your love. This Valentine's Day, give more than a gift. Give your heart.

Use Cases:

Beating heart (record your heart for sentimental value)
Calming heartbeat toy for a pet (calms them)
Haptify a stuffed animal (soothing heartbeat, calming lullaby)
Dancing heart (a mini speaker that lets you feel music and when placed on a table, will dance to the track)
