This wearable device forms an external layer of "skin" and exoskeleton on the back, capable of dynamic interaction with the wearer’s physiological and postural states. By responding to bio-signals such as skin conductivity, body temperature, and posture, the external skin inflates and deflates air pockets, creating a tangible feedback loop between the body and its immediate environment. This system enhances the sensory and expressive capacity of the human body, allowing the wearer’s internal states to be visually and physically articulated.

By integrating biofeedback into the design, it positions the wearable as both an extension of the body and an external interpreter of its signals, rendering invisible physiological states visible and tangible
