Sep 13 2007Hug Shirt Spreads The Love
The Hug Shirt, from CuteCircuit, is a Bluetooth accessory for cell phones. It has been in the works for awhile (so you may have seen it), but is allegedly hitting streets soon. Basically the shirt has a bunch of Bluetooth sensors and actuators in it. When you hug yourself the information is sent via cell phone to your friend or lover, where their shirt will duplicate the hug you gave yourself. If you're like me, this is great, because I only wear one shirt all week long. Now if they could just duplicate the feeling of a sender's breasts, I would buy one yesterday.

I'm not interested until they have more 'creative' placement for the actuators - like in the boob area. Hug Pants?

Seriously? Only a shirt? They didn't develop the pants?
Low Quality! I want pants!

Someone really, really lonely made this.

Now let's just wait until people start recieving hugs from random strange people that linger uncomfortably in certain areas of the upper body.
This is just the mood shirt part 2.

So does it actually make you move your arms and hug yourself? I'm not getting how this works, that could have really bad results if you are holding coffee or shit.

...especially if you're holding shit.
