Microsoft, in partnership with engineers from the University of Rochester, and Southampton, is developing a smart bra that is able to detect the different moods of the user.

The prototype, already presented, contains removable sensors that monitor heart activity and skin and provides indication under stress levels to which the user is subject. The objective is to realize if the smart devices can help prevent dietary excesses related to excess stress.

The information about the State of humor is provided to the user through an application for smartphones that allows alert to the most turbulent emotional States and the moment that emotional power is more likely to occur.

The future of this bra, which also includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer, is still uncertain, in particular its marketing. One of the brakes to entry in the market is the low durability of the batteries, which require frequent shipments.

According to Asta Roseway, senior researcher at Microsoft, was "too boring for the participants to use the prototype detection system, since the plates had to be recharged every three or four hours," cites the BBC.

Women who participated in the tests came back to meet his emotions through the device for six hours a day for four days.
