Hookin' up via remote e-body art

Yeah, so pseudo-haptics and modern primitivism as a distance-relationship/intimacy aid is one of the most bizarre marriages we've ever seen (we're not sure, but we feel slightly compelled to give them "convergence" points). So the premise of the Mutsugoto/Pillow Talk is that two partners lie in their beds wherever they may be, and each has a camera mounted overhead that picks up the tracings of an infrared ring each user wears. Their silhouette is projected on the other's bed, along with whatever they're drawing. Sometimes we just don't know about the Japanese—we'd give an American couple fifteen seconds before it turned irreversably juvenile and lewd.
