CuteCircuit are awesome.

And they make awesome things.



Accessory Nerve is a sleeve that reacts to your phones signals. When you're getting an incoming call, pleats appear on the fabric. If you're a little busy you can just straighten out the sleeve, which will then trigger the phone to send a text message to the caller saying "I'll call you back later". A lot more subtle than getting your phone out.



This item is particularly ingenious. This is the hug shirt, which allows you to send a hug to a loved one using your phone. Sensors detect the touch, warmth and heart beat of the sender and recreate the sensation for the receiver. Bluetooth sends the hug signal from the phone to the top, and a java application called "hug me", reads the sensor data and recreates the hug.
