=Pulse Necklace=
A choker (tight necklace) which measures your heartbeat (pulse) and shows it to others via a set of LEDs.  It may also optionally communicate the same info to the wearer via a vibrator.  Although theoretically heart rate should be known via senses intrinsic to humans, in practice it is actually quite difficult to know, and I think there are many interesting social interactions that pulse-display could trigger.

You can see in the image a small heart on the left side of the display.  When it's sensing your pulse, this heart blinks with your pulse, which is super cool.  The sensor is under my index finger on the right hand side.  You need to just touch the sensor - if you press hard, that destroys the signals (presumably because the pressure makes it so your skin doesn't respond to the pressure of your blood and instead just responds to the pressure of your hold...)
