The hug shirt

Filed in archive Cool , Products by on March 30, 2006

Emotions send as easy as a text message. Two people wearing the hug shirt can send a hug every time they think about each other over every distance.

Embedded in the shirt there are sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch, warmth and emotion of the hug to the shirt of the distant loved one.

The system is very simple: a hug shirt (Bluetooth with sensors and actuators), a Bluetooth java enabled mobile phone with the Hug Me java software running (that understands what the sensors are communicating), and on the other side another phone and another shirt.

The people behind CuteCircuit gave a great interview to WMMNA and opened a new office in London these days. You can book workshops too.
