Agnes, the ageing empathy suit at MIT

BBC News - Meet Agnes, the aging empathy suit at MIT

The AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a suit that they say simulates the ageing process to give younger people a better idea of the physical challenges that older people face.

Dr Joseph Coughlin, director of the AgeLab, says the goal of the suit - called Agnes, for Age Gain Now Empathy System - is to make the world more accessible to the elderly and life better for people as they age.
