Take a regular pillow, add some LEDs and some Wi-Fi, pair it with another, identical pillow far away, and what do you have? Probably some pretty uncomfortable bedding for starters, but you’ll also have the Relational Pillow, an interactive device from the minds of MIT’s Ambient Intelligence Group. The idea is disgustingly cute: One person “draws” on his or her pillow just by touching it (sensors are beneath the surface), watching the LEDs light up. At the same time, the Wi-Fi transmits the drawing to the other pillow, which can theoretically be anywhere in the world… sort of an interactive Etch-A-Sketch, but comfier.
