    SINGAPORE - Singapore scientists looking for ways to transmit the sense of touch over the Internet have devised a vibration jacket for chickens and are thinking about electronic children's pyjamas for cyberspace hugs.

    A wireless jacket for chickens or other pets can be controlled with a computer and gives the animal the feeling of being touched by its owner, researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) told Monday's edition of The Straits Times.

    The next step would be to use the same concept to transmit hugs over the Internet, it said.



    Amazing what technology can do with a simple chicken, and millions of dollars of research. I want my own vibrating chicken, damn it!


    Click to make a chicken move in that "special" way.

    I just read this now, and...Malf, I mean this in the nicest way...GET A JOB! :D

    Vibrating chickens, singing toilets...these are not elements of serious discussion. And you know as well as I do that technologies like these will be developed for cyber-sex toys LONG before they make a kid feel hugged! I can bet someone developed this idea while watching "debbie does the farm"...

    (Let's just hope it's washable...)
