Long-Distance Hugs Haptic technology digitizes touch. CuteCircuit created the Hug shirt that you can hug and send the exact hug, including strength, pressure, distribution, and even heartbeat, to a long-distance g shirt. Ben Hul at Cambridge University is creating handsqueezes that can be sent by mobile phones. You simply squeeze the phone and your friend feels it, in some form, at the other end. The value of these haptic devices is based on the idea that physical touch is an important element to all human interactions, and if you can transfer the physical touch, you can replicate the emotion. In a group, create a new business product that uses a haptic interface. Share your product idea with your peers. Long-Distance Hugs Haptic technology digitizes touch.
