About
Parihug is the company that brought physical touch to the IoT world, with its debut product a Wi-Fi-enabled teddy bear that lets loved ones send hugs across any distance using haptic telepresence technology. When one bear is hugged, its paired bear gently vibrates in real time to replicate the sensation, with bears connecting via Bluetooth-linked apps or directly over Wi-Fi. Parihug was co-founded in 2015 by Xyla Foxlin and Harshita Gupta in Cleveland, Ohio, and launched publicly at CES 2016.
