Wearable technology

What if you couldn't be with your loved one this V-Day? Wouldn't you wish you could just hug them!?

Now you can with the Hug Shirt from Cute Circuit. This wearable technology has the ability to mimic human to human contact - it is highly intuitive and is designed with user emotion in mind, including the sensation of touch, warmth and intensity of a hug.

The system is very simple: a Hug Shirt™ (Bluetooth with sensors and actuators), a Bluetooth java enabled mobile phone with the HugMe™ 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™!

When touching the red areas on your Hug Shirt™ your mobile phone receives the sensors data via Bluetooth (hug pressure, skin temperature, heartbeat rate, time you are hugging for, etc) and then delivers it to the other person.
