The Pillow Talk

Do you remember the long distance kiss-messenger we introduced you in February? Here is another innovative product for long-distance couples: The Pillow Talk.

The device for loved ones was created by Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery. As written on her blog Pillow Talk is a project aiming to connect long distance lovers.

Each person has a pillow for their bed and a ring sensor which they wear to sleep at night. The sensor wirelessly communicates with the other person’s pillow. When one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one. The result is an intimate interaction between two lovers, regardless of the distance between them.

It really works!


The long distance kiss-messenger

Don´t forget… Tomorrow is Valentine´s Day! In case your loved ones are far away Hooman Samani, an artificial intelligence researcher in Singapore, had an idea. He has developed a robot with a virtual mouth that can emulate and transmit a kiss – bringing an extra touch of intimacy to a long-distance relationship or even a video game.

The “Kissenger” has the size and shape of a softball and has a pair of touch-sensitive lips that detect and copy how each partner delivers the kiss.

Samani says as well as bridging the physical gap between real people it could also create a link with the virtual worlds to add a new dimension to gaming. Curious? Want to know how the „Kissenger“ works? Let´s have a closer look:
