The Suit That Makes You Feel 75 Years Old

Getting old is no fun. The stiff joints, the constant urination, the diminishing eyesight, the wrinkles … and that’s just 40! As more and more of us get old (by 2030 20% of the population will be over 65) it’s important to allow designers, engineers and others to fully understand the needs of this aging population.

Enter AGNES (Age Gain Now Empathy System), a suit outfitted with braces to stiffen your joints, goggles that make it hard to read, a neck brace that crooks your spine, and rubber bands that make it impossible to extend your limbs.

Sounds real peachy.

    I don’t need to wear that. I have fibromyalgia, and other assorted issues that have me sympathising with the elderly.
