The hug shirt
Filed in archive Cool , Products 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.

The Hug Shirt is not meant to replace human contact, but to make you happy if you are away for business or other reasons and you miss your friends and loved ones! It also has some very interesting applications in the medical field with the elderly and children. And is fun to use and very soft!
