Once they get this thing a bit more developed, you'll be able to interact with the person you're talking to on-line in brand new ways!

I'm not sure what those ways will be, but I'm bettin' they'll think of something.

Very Happy

Reminds me of Karry Niven's "touch sculpture" created by the Kdatlyno who are unusual aliens with a highly developed sense of touch and are completely blind except for a radar sense.

They have silver-capped horns on the knees and elbows, a rough, scaled (some say dragon-like) brown skin, and retractable claws on the knuckles of human-like hands.

Their home world Kdat was previously enslaved by the Kzinti.
