Hugging T-shirt invented

Italian designers have developed a hugging T-shirt for people in long distance relationships.
The T-shirt simulates the missing partner's breath, touch and heartbeat.
The 'F+R Hugs' T-shirt has fitted sensors that the designer claims realistically simulate a partner's caress.
It is based on information on body temperature, heart beat and touch transmitted by mobile phone.
The sensors are installed in the upper arms, back, hips, and shoulders of the T-shirt and recreate the physical pressure of a hug by inflating and deflating at a touch of a button.
The T-shirt was developed by Francesca Rosella, a graduate from the Ivrea Design Institute in Turin.
