Caution: Do not expect us to provide you with mush products like these in every issue. It’s just that today we feel pretty much pro-mushy, anti-Sainiks and … Whatever!
Hug Shirt
Does for touch what the cellphone did for sound and the TV for sight. Wear it, hug yourself tight and the sensors sewn into the fabric pick up the pressure and communicate it via Bluetooth to your cellphone. A message is then sent to your ‘pair’ cellphone across the country, continent, globe, wherever… and picked up by the Bluetooth of another Hug Shirt and translated into heat and vibration in the precise location of the original hug. We like it!

Kissphone
Oral equivalent of the Hug Shirt. Transmits kisses over cellular networks. Ehh, does that qualify as making out with our phone? Its artificial mouth picks up the speed, force and suction of a kiss and recreates it on another distant KissPhone. Spooky but nice!

Relational Pillow
Trust MIT to invent a simple yet intimate way for you to love birds to cootchie-coo, no matter how far apart you are! This pillows can sense touch and transmit ‘touch’ data as a pattern of lights on a remote ‘pair’ pillow! Pillows can connect to each other over the Internet through WiFi and you can touch across long distances. Pillow talk, anyone?

Lovers’ Cups
Another ace from MIT, to mind the gap. When any one of the glass pair is lifted, an accelerometer inside it senses the motion and communicate it via WiFi to the ‘pair’ cup, making its embedded LCDs glow. When both are used together, they glow to celebrate a virtual kiss. Let’s drink to that!
