ELECTRONIC PYJAMAS FOR CYBERSPACE HUGS
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have devised a wireless vibration jacket for pets that can be controlled with a computer and gives the animal the feeling of being touched by its owner. The next step, is a pyjama suit for children, which would use the Internet to adjust changes in pressure and temperature to simulate the feeling of being hugged. Parents on business trips wearing a similar suit could be "hugged" back by their children :)
