As the world becomes increasingly virtual, there’s a push to make technology not just what you can see and hear, but what you can feel. Created by GSP Beta Labs, the innovation arm of San Francisco agency [Goodby, Silverstein & Partners](http://www.goodbysilverstein.com/?ref=protein.xyz), [Touch Room](http://touchroomapp.com/?ref=protein.xyz) is an app for iPhone that “keeps your loved ones within arm's reach.”   
  
Disregarding the possibly unsavory connotations of something called a Touch Room, the premise of the app is to put you and a loved one or friend in the same room, virtually. To start, enter your name to create a Touch Room, invite others to join, and watch their touch points move about on the screen in real time. When fingertips “touch,” the iPhone vibrates establishing a physical connection between you and the other user.   
  
As we’ve seen with products like [Tactilu](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/06/tactilu?ref=protein.xyz), consumers are looking to bring a more tangible, physical element to their virtual realm. We are human after all.
