The Hand-in-Hand Wristband is a unique friendship accessory featuring two decorative tiny hands that light up upon contact. Designed as a social switch, it serves as a distanced handshake simulator, allowing people to connect without direct physical touch.
Each adjustable wristband is equipped with two tiny hands that respond to movement. When one person’s left hand meets another’s right hand, their respective Circuit Playground Express (CPX) modules light up simultaneously. If a single wristband’s tiny hands connect on both sides, all CPX modules illuminate with a brand-new color and effect, creating an engaging and playful interaction.
By blending technology and social connection, the Hand-in-Hand Wristband fosters a fun, interactive way to strengthen friendships while respecting personal boundaries.
