YourGlove
hotMitts
hotHands
YourGlove, hotMitts and hotHands use different physical channels to communicate intimate signals and thus present the same behavioural metaphor of hand-holding.
YourGlove uses robotic hand controlled by strings. HotMitts and hotHands uses heat rather than touch as the sensory medium and exchanges body heat.
