This high-tech bracelet will let you touch your long-distance partner from afar
Hey
Anyone who's been in a long-distance relationship knows that not being able to touch your partner for weeks or months at a time is one of the toughest parts.
While technology has caught up in other arenas - video chatting has never been easier and apps that help you find cheap travel are a dime a dozen - long-distance touch is essentially the final frontier.
To help solve that problem, a Dutch tech company called House of Haptics has created the Hey bracelet, a wearable that lets you send touch over long distances.
Before your mind descends into the gutter, the Hey bracelet is not a sex toy. It's worn on your wrist and is meant to simulate a "gentle squeeze," not a vibration or buzzing sensation.
The Hey bracelet launched on Kickstarter about a month ago, and is not yet available to purchase. While there's no guarantee it will ever come to fruition, here's how the House of Haptics team envisions it working.
