A Scottish company Distance Labs has announced the "intimate communication over a distance," the technology, which draws lines of light on a body of a person who is more than 250 km away.

The company is looking for three couples in which one partner is based near Edinburgh, and the other more than 250 km away, with the aim of testing if drawing lines of light on each other's bodies can replicate the ambiance involved in relationships.

The drawing ring, which is used for the testing, glows red and special bedroom electronics project lines drawn by the distant partner, as well as those traced out locally, through which the couples "communicate through the language of touch as expressed on the canvas of the human body".

The choice for the place of the research has been justified by saying that oil workers are often stuck out at sea for a long times, and skilled workers are frequently forced to travel around the world while their wives stay at home.
