Panasonic has come up with a prototype that will cause every Burning Man aficionado to drool helplessly in their playa-coated fun fur.
From Pink Tentacle:
The carpet’s luxurious coat of faux fur (available in white, brown, or skunk-like black and white) houses a set of smart heating elements that deliver warmth only to the areas you touch when you cuddle it. Squishy, flesh-like control switches modeled after the paw pads of your favorite furry friend enhance the carpet’s overall zoomorphic feel.
What a great pickup line: “Could you cuddle my long, warm, furry love cushion? It’s lonely. . .”

Just wait for Version 2, which will slink like a ferret.
Version 3 will snake over to the kitchen and make you a cup of tea.
God I love living in the future.
