Time Magazine has chosen their best gadgets for 2006 and the one that stood out for me was The Hug Shirt. According to the developer, it is a shirt that simulates the embrace of a loved one.
“When a friend sends you a virtual hug, your cell phone notifies the shirt wirelessly, via Bluetooth. The shirt then re-creates that person’s distinctive cuddle, replicating his or her warmth, pressure, duration and even heartbeat. And, yes, the Hug Shirt is fully washable.â€
The first thing that popped into my head after I read this was that this could be something great for our soldiers who are overseas and away from their friends and family. You know, a mom somewhere is able to call her son’s cell phone and no matter where he is, in combat, in his bunk, he gets a hug that feels like his Mom. I think that would be great.
Though I guess we could all use a hug every once in a while.
