The Hug Shirt is designed to make you feel loved even when your loved ones are miles away from you.

Bluetooth-enabled pads of some sort are embedded in the fabric of the shirt, and can receive signals from your mobile phone.

One person wearing a Hug Shirt gives themselves a hug, which is picked up by their mobile phone and transmitted to their friend. The friend, also wearing a Hug Shirt, then feels the squeeze, with the same pressure applied.
