Traveling quite a bit makes me want a familiar hug and here’s a way to get more then just a long distance hug! Yahoo!

"The Hug Shirt (F+R Hugs) is a shirt that allows people to exchange the
physical sensation of a hug over distance. Embedded in the shirt there
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 System

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 wirelessly to your mobile phone and your mobile
phone delivers the data stream to your loved one phone and seamlessly
is transmitted Bluetooth to the other person’s shirt (sounds complex
but the operation takes the same few seconds it would take to send an
SMS, or text message). 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)."
