Sibling Love connects siblings in a playful way through virtual annoying behavior to let your sibling know you are thinking about them.

Hand2Hand is a device that lets two people in different places touch each other through a magical portal.

Pubbly Love is a device that enables romantic interests to wirelessly indicate when they need to communicate about a next step in their relationship by using the amount of water as an indicator.

Sometimes, people in long-distance relationships notice after a while that they’re fighting more often, and they miss the close and intimate conversations they used to have. We design a pair of bears that can bring the LDR (long-distance relationship) back to life.

The goal of this project was to develop a pair of devices that could allow parents who become soldiers and go overseas to communicate in a meaningful way with their children. Long distances are tough for any relationship, so we hope that with our device we can keep relationships strong by providing a way to communicate in a unique way with a loved one.
