Tangible Interaction

Although technology helps us to connect with people quickly and hassle free, it simply enhances words to be taken however the other persons sees it, therefore sometimes causing unnecessary conflicts between long distance partners, who cannot share a real hug or a kiss when comfort is really needed.

It is loneliness, boredom and lack of physical contact that makes people drift apart. We need to keep communication frequent, fresh and thought provoking to allow long distance relationships to thrive and grow, not simply to rely on e-mails, blogs and twitters.

A tangible interaction must be present in some form to allow for personalisation and haptic stimulation. It is not only the objects that are important, it is the process and the journey of how one piece of emotional information stays intact from sender to receiver and doesn’t get lost in the digital translation.
