Sensing Beds
If sometimes you cannot sleep because you´re missing your partner, you may find interesting the idea of the Sesing Beds.
„The Sensing Beds domesticate communications devices by placing them in the bedroom. The beds mediate between two romantic partners who are not co-located by sensing body position in each bed and using a grid of small heating pads to warm the congruent points in the other bed. As an experiment in telepresence, they bridge the physical distance between two people who would normally share a bed, but find themselves sleeping apart. As an experiment in slow technology and emotional communication, they articulate users’ existing concerns about intimacy, trust and knowledge.“
