Videoconferencing apps like FaceTime give you direct and live interaction with another person -- and conventional phone calls let you do the same thing -- but that's hard to do while texting. Here's Feel Me, an iOS app concept that shows you in real time what your texting partner is doing.

Created by Marco Triverio as his final project at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, it adds a subtle dimension to texting, where you can see a small red dot that shows where on the screen the other person's finger is currently pressing.

When your finger and the other person's finger touch your screens in the same place, there's a vibration or a sound. It's an emotional connection -- almost like the two are physically touching.

So far, the idea is in the concept stage, and Travario invites all those interested to visit his site and leave an email address or follow him on Twitter @FeelMeApp if you'd like to be notified when the app becomes available. Here's his full demo on Vimeo.
