    Massage my feet

    >> Instructable (not yet!)
    >> Massage me Instructable

    As many people told us, and also we thought of it many times.. It will be nice if there was a Massage me foot version for foot massage. So, we finally started to make one. That is the spirit of “how to get what I want”. As usual, it does not work in one shot, so we went through many prototype phase and “oh, why it does not work?!” times. There are some working prototypes that you can play PS1 games and give foot massage, but we will wait until we finalize it to post a proper instructables. For now, you can see pictures of prototyping and imagine our tears and sweat…

      Did you use vibration or kneading? What specific materials were used. I am making a similar product for shoulders and/or neck and I am impressed how thin you made the base of the product

      the actuation is human. you get somebody to massage your feet with their hands in order to play the game.
