Hug around the world
Sending a hug your way

Giving hugs from a distance is possible from today through Huggit. The combination of an appliqué and a soft sweater makes a connection between you and your friends. Through a game on the app that you play with your friends and family, you can give and receive the ultimate hug! Loneliness is a current problem today. It does not only affect the elderly, but is also present among the youth. Huggit addresses this problem by enabling the physical connection between friends and family even remotely. You play a game with a friend via the Huggit app. If you manage to reach each other, you deserve a warm hug! The hug is made possible by a soft sweater that mimics the feeling of a hug using heat and pressure points.
