• The Panasonic Emotions Testing Line is a new product from the "nomadic" development designer Jiří Černický and Panasonic. The commercial goal of this product line is to grasp the issue of the emotional deficits in society, and to offer prospective customers alternative "emotions" from the Panasonic Company.
• The means that allow for the expression of these emotions is an interactive SD audio-prosthesis. This is a substitute, personal container for the emotions of users who are not able, or do not want, to experience life through their own emotional perceptions. This new device resembles a Walkman-type device with headphones that does not play music inside, but rather outside, of the head. The device facilitates the user's emotional communication with the world around him. It is not designed for his/her personal use only; on the contrary, it is equipped with a tiny amplifier.
• The memory of the SD Audio Player chip card contains a great amount of data containing recordings of authentic human emotions. For instance, if the user finds himself in a situation where he has to argue with someone, yet he does not want to get into confrontation and to waste his own emotions, he locates a password on his SD Audio Player representing an appropriate emotional response, which he then applies accordingly.
• The SD Audio Player is a highly interactive device that can also record and thus appropriate the emotions of other people. Such recordings, including those from movies, can be further edited and modified on a computer. In this way, the user can appropriate the emotions that are conveyed by celebrities and other prominent individuals. Therefore, the range of recordings can vary substantially.

Let's mention at least some of these emotions: "sniveling, peevishness, sobbing, moaning, crying, gradual emotional collapse, breakdown, yelling by a beaten person, the state of mind between laughter and crying, the hysterical family argument from Fellini's film Amarcord, pubescent giggling, comforting and fondling of a baby, a feeling of well-being, enthusiastic effusions, wearing somebody out, cuddling, soothing, etc."

SD Audio prosthesis is designed for a variety of applications. We would like to highlight here a few of the possible characteristics of prospective users:
1. Users who feel handicapped by the excessive amount of their own emotions and need to express this personal shortcomings through a substitute audio-prosthesis in order to maintain their own dignity and to control their behavior.
2. Users who feel the urge to express their emotions yet are not capable of doing so because their ability to express emotions has become degenerated, been blocked, or been otherwise suppressed.
3. Users who are compelled to express their emotions yet do not want to become exhausted and tired out by such effusiveness.
4. Users who feel the urge to express their emotions but whose effusions could weaken their social status as that would appear clumsy, undignified, pathetic, ludicrous, somehow lacking or silly, etc.
5. Users who cannot live out their emotions but would like to learn to do so.
6. Users who want to keep their emotions under control.
7. Users who are creative and who feel attracted to experimentation with their own emotions, the emotions of others, or with virtual emotions.
