Do you have a friend or lover that lives far awayIf so, you might want to pick up a Hug Shirt. The Hug Shirt is a Bluetooth accessory for java enabled mobile phones. With it, sending a hug to a loved one is as easy as sending a text message.
This is how it works. You need a Hug Shirt that is embedded with sensors that capture the emotion of your hug by feeling the strength of your touch, the warmth of your skin and your heartbeat. And you need a Bluetooth java enabled mobile phone that has the Hug Me java software running. When you touch the sensors on your shirt the information is received by your mobile and your hug is received by your loved ones mobile via Bluetooth and delivered to their shirt.
This shirt is another example of how our senses are being exploited to enhance our interactions with people, places and things.
