The hug shirt from Cute Circuit sends hugs to people over distance. Amazingly, it has been nominated as one of the best inventions of 2006 by time magazine.
How does it work? 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 (it understands what the sensors are communicating), and on the other side another phone and another shirt. If you do not have a Hug Shirt but know that your friend has one you can still send them a hug creating it with the HugMe software and it will be delivered to your friend’s Hug Shirt!
CuteCircuit says that it is not to replace real human hugs, but rather it is meant to give joy and warmth to friends and loved ones who are far away. They say that they combined emotion with technology to bring human-human interaction which is very important.
This technology is really nice. It can cheer up and give comfort to anyone who is lonely. Plus, the shirt can be washed by removing the sensors. It is also very soft, lead-free, and non-toxic!
