Remote Hugging with the Hug Shirt

Virtual Hugging with the Hug ShirtThanks to this rather fetching shirt you will soon be able to send and receive virtual hugs from others whilst going about your daily life regardless of the distance between you thanks to some rather clever, inbuilt technology. And you never know, receiving that virtual hug just before an important interview or exam could make all the difference.

Created by CuteCircuit, a company specialising in smart textiles and wearable telecommunication interfaces, the innovative Hug Shirt allows the wearer to send and receive virtual hugs via their Java enabled mobile devices using Bluetooth connectivity and a series of plug and play hug pads that can easily be removed to allow the shirt to be washed just like any ordinary item of clothing.

You can read more concerning this high-tech fashion garment via the official site linked to here. Presently the Hug Shirt is not available commercially, though it appears that you may be able to get your hands on it in the near future for a price as yet undetermined.

In the meantime, you may want to look at the Heartbeat Cushion.

    Hugs shirts what next. By the way have you seen the underwear they came out with?

    Yes, I was going to post about the underwear but then went for this instead on the basis that I have recently posted about a bra, a vibrator and a false foreskin.

    I thought it was time for a little change in direction, all things considered. :-)
