Are you suffering from chronic back pain? Do you have a bad posture? Always seem to hunch? Well then, Risr, is a new technology that uses safe vibrations to correct your posture by having you wear a special vest made out of a delicate network of wires and vibrating sensors.

Posture can do a lot of positive goodness for you. It can help you remember better, it makes you look more assertive and powerful, and above all, it's actually nicer to look at someone with good posture rather than the hunchback of Notredam.

Risr can be worn beneath any shirt and works by connecting to an app on your smartphone and vibrating in response to your position relative to the "target" posture. [Risr.me via TechCrunch]
