Long Distance Pillows?

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by lisa in Creative/Fun Ideas, Technology for Long Distance Relationships

New technology for long distance relationships is constantly being developed. Take, for example, the Relational Pillow, a prototype from MIT. LED lights under the pillow’s material light up in any pattern when a user touches them. Connected by WiFi, another pillow miles away suddenly illuminates in the same pattern. Group founder Patti Maes explains, “You can draw a smile on one Relational Pillow and send it to another pillow far away.” Draw a heart to convey “I love you.” Ask simple, fun questions, or illustrate something naughty when e-mailing dirty talk just doesn’t cut it.
