12. The Weeble concept straddles the line between a digital and anaolog device, giving the users a
unique connection that is quickly becoming lost in todays world. This plush communication device
records and sends your heartbeat via wireless or mobile networks to your partners device, and vice
versa when held just so. When both Weebles are held simultaneously, they emit heat, mimicing an-
others touch.
The Weeble gives its users an interesting connection, away from the screen, away from the speakers,
even without words, that shows your partner that you care and are thinking about them.
