Technology To Help Bring Intimacy To LDR Couples!

[DelicateMelodies]

Just wanted to share this cool new technology project I found on the web, called Pillow Talk. I want to buy one!!! XD I underlined and put bold print on my favorite part!


"Pillow Talk is a project aiming to connect long distance lovers. Each person has a pillow for their bed and a chest sensor which they wear to sleep at night. The chest sensor wirelessly communicates with the other person’s pillow; when one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one.

The result is an intimate interaction between two lovers, regardless of the distance between them.
The project is built using a transceiver from a Polar exercise watch, built into a circuit which runs via an Arduino board. The pillows have a flat panel containing the circuit, small speakers and lights, which can slot into any pillow. "


Here is the development blog website!! There's even a youtube video!: https://imd.dundee.ac.uk/~jmontgomery/wp/?page_id=2



I would of put this under "Things for LDR Couples To Do" but since it isn't available to buy yet, I thought I would put it here instead.

That's very cool! I was lurking a bit, while playing a game before bed and had a look at the website. I just sent my SO a link to the site, too. Thanks for sharing.

ohhh i want this! I love his heartbeat cos its so unique with his metal valve...its like a ticking and sometimes u can hear it from a metre away. I love listening to it, its so calming

I bet that's going to be super expensive, but that sounds awesome as all get out. For now I'll stick to the 'beating heart' in my Build-A-Bear. XD

I would love to have one of these. Of course, by the time it finally comes out, I'll probably have closed the distance, so... XD

OMG I want this O_o

[Èternity]

I do love technology!

It's a great idea, but it's probably going to be super expensive

[loveonspeedial]

That's probably going to cost so much money.
My so would love that, she falls asleep on my chest every time she's here

[paulawriteslove]

Whoever thought of that is so smart!

[XX, Lexi]

That sounds like a WONDERFUL device!
It may be expensive, but I'd love to try it out when it comes out n.n
