Ambient Telepresence Windchimes

Two wind chimes that robotically induce their own chimes when the other senses presence. Ideally, each chime is placed in the personal environments of participants in long distance romantic relationships. This chime system is an attempt to establish an ambient, passive communication between humans in different places - in response to the fact that all existing communications technology require "push" communication, in which one chooses and intends to communicate rather than giving off a communication.
