Perfect as Valentine's Day jewelry, the RingU virtual hug ring helps two people stay close and connected, even if they are far apart physically.
Developed by Mixed Reality Lab, the ‘world’s first tele-hug ring’ connects to its partner ring through Blue Tooth 4.0 on the couple’s smartphones. One person can send a hug virtually to their loved one by caressing their ring, which then triggers their partner’s ring to gently squeeze their finger. There are three hug settings, including ‘Mini-Hug,’ ‘Intense Hug’ and ‘Urgent Hug,’ which send different pulses and lengths of squeezes. Two lovers who are forced to be separated for a while can feel as though they are holding hands once again with this little gem.
The RingU virtual hug ring is the perfect Valentine's Day Jewelry for a long-distance relationship.
