A hug, a handshake, a pat on the back, and a kiss are all very important and bring us close to others - even though we could be miles away from our near and dear ones.
A newly introduced Hug Shirt (not yet in India) is a one of kind shirt that makes people send hugs over distance!
Embedded in the shirt 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 Hug Shirt is a Bluetooth accessory for Java enabled mobile phones. Hug shirts don't have any assigned phone number, all the data goes from the sensors' Bluetooth to your mobile phone and your mobile phone delivers the hug data to your friend's phone and it is seamlessly transmitted via Bluetooth to his or her shirt!
Sending hugs is as easy as sending an SMS, and you will be able to send hugs while you are on the move, in the same way and to the same places you are able to make phone calls (Rome to Tokyo, New York to Paris).
The Hug Shirt can be washed. The smart technology pads (containing sensors and actuators), placed under each red area that you see in the picture, can be removed for washing and placed back in afterwards. The Hug pads are plug and play, so that you don't need to be an expert to place them and make it work!
