本文介绍了一种通过使用两个名为“united-pulse”的环来创建远程亲密关系的设备。每个戒指都可以测量佩戴者的心跳并将其发送到伴侣的戒指上。由此，夫妻之间创造了人造肉体。通过工作原型，united-pulse 已成功进行测试。在 28 名参与者中，该原型引起了极大的兴趣。通过心跳（基本的生命体征），可以提供一种与伴侣非常亲密的感觉。在需要情感支持的情况下，触摸戒指可以带来短暂的亲密时刻。
This paper introduces a device that creates remote intimacy by the use of two rings named "united-pulse". Each ring can measure the wearer's heartbeat and send it to the partner's ring. Hereby, artificial corporeality is created between the couple. By means of a working prototype, united-pulse has been successfully tested. Among the 28 participants the prototype has attracted large interest. Through the heartbeat -- the essential vital sign -- a feeling of being very close to the partner is provided. Touching the ring allows a small moment of intimacy in situations where emotional support is needed.
