Abstract
Scientists have long noted an association between social relationships and health. Geographic separation poses a challenge for relational partners as it is associated with increased distress and depression. Remote relationships can affect mainly couples’ communication. Enabling feeling expression and increasing communication between couples can maintain their health and the health of their relationships. This paper aims to provide possible solutions that can bridge the gap between couples in remote relationships. Forget Me Not is an ambient display project to support the communication and emotion expression to maintain healthy long distance relationships.
