Great design! What kind of touches can this recognize/create? Do you always feel the same touch on the receiving end or does it change based on force/duration of the person sending a touch?
@tarja@kunalslab I love this space but is your solution enough to take a spot on my wrist all day long? Can it sense the amount of pressure? Can it be customized? If that's it, why not just have different types of vibrations and make it a mobile app? An app called Pair/Couple does that with the "thumb kiss" which was brilliant but not enough either. Forget the $100+ tag, I just don't see myself wearing this all day long for a couple of "heys". My significant could probably just text me "hey" -- then my phone vibrates (she has a special text tone + text vibration). That's free.
Dear hunters, meet HEY! A bracelet that lets you send and receive a touch, wherever you are. It’s the first wearable that mimics a real human touch. HEY is developed for loved ones in a (long) distance relationship. It offers them a new, more meaningful way of communicating. We’re in our final development phase and are hoping to take the final steps with the help of Kickstarter. We’d love to hear your feedback on HEY’s design, purpose, possible features and operation 🙂 I’m around to answer any questions, thanks!

Only a bracelet for the wrist? What about other parts of the body?
@douglasevaristo@matthewboyle25 The double irony of of someone replying to original comment with a sarcastic gif, but with a real title of "Front End"......
Customer service and return policy is a joke. They are way to expensive for what you get and they give you no help when something is wrong.
Pros:
It’s a nice idea but does not work!!
Cons:
Everything. It won’t stay on your wrist. It disconnects as it pleases. It is in sleep mode 98% of the time

It would be better if there was a way to tell how much battery life was in these in the first place. I dont think it was worth the amount to buy it. And this is coming from a person who love tech.
Pros:
Its a great idea
Cons:
The battery life is not a week as stated. Its more like 3 hours. Sleep mode is constantly on so i miss when my fiance sends me a touch.
