Abstract

In this paper, we describe a case study of Fibo - a pregnancy wearable for men (and non-pregnant partners) which allows a partner to feel the movements of their unborn child via a wearable jewellery device. Fibo, in its current state, is a jewellery device housing four pearls which are attached to a servo motor simulating a fetus' movement. We explore other pregnancy devices in related works. The insights gained from early prototyping with Fibo demonstrate a need to design for meaningfulness and we present this as a future work - the need to enable meaningful experiences through thoughtful device design.
