New Vest "Hugs" You When You Get Facebook "Likes"

Leave it to those MIT kids!

Melissa Chow, a student at MIT, has created a vest that inflates when you get a “Like” on Facebook!

The pockets in the vest receive a signal from the wearer’s mobile phone to puff up!

Aww! As if we didn’t already love “Likes” enough! Ha!

You can also squeeze the jacket and deflate it to send a hug back to the sender of the “Like.”

So great right?!

Melissa said it was created to “[allow] us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.”

Right now it seems to just be a prototype. Boo! We need these to happen for reals!

Would U wear one?
