But how does it work and what does this innovative blanket? The passenger must wear a special belt around his head that read his brain waves and notify the blanket, made of fiber-optic LED, via Bluetooth. The latter will be colored according to the state of mind of the traveler: blue during the happy moments and relaxed, red in moments of anxiety and tension.
