we're at the genworth aging experience on Maya's akhtar under all of this gear this is 40 pounds of an aging suit it's an exoskeleton and it's got essentially brakes and right now what's happening is they're adjusting the amount of resistance on my knees to give me an idea of what it's like to feel older so I'm walking on the beach here which is not a walk on a beach okay and there's a lot more force on my legs so walking I'm exhausted I've been wearing this suit just for about 10 minutes to show the idea behind this whole suit this whole concept is to get a conversation about aging happening it's definitely the one of the crazier things I've seen at CES 2016 there's other things you can do I can try it out later you're gonna mess with my eyes when I'm seeing you through two cameras and I have these things over my ears so they can actually have hearing loss vision loss more issues with my joints if they want to mess with the faders again because they have full control of that trying to move my legs or super heavy this is like nightmare material but it does give me an idea what it's like to be older so if I'm looking at places to live or places to be perhaps stairs become way more difficult walking around on show fours way more difficult when you laugh at people who have segways maybe it's not so funny
