Hug simulator: see how two heights hug
Move the two sliders to set each person's height. The hug simulator draws both of you to scale, hugging, and tells you where the shorter person's head lands: cheek to cheek, under the chin, on the shoulder or against the chest.
What a hug looks like at each height difference
| Height difference | Where the shorter head reaches | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 3 cm (about 1 in) | Cheek to cheek, eyes level | 5'7" and 5'7" |
| 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) | Eyes level with the other person's mouth | 5'6" and 5'9" |
| 12 to 18 cm (5 to 7 in) | Head tucks under the chin | 5'4" and 5'10" |
| 20 to 28 cm (8 to 11 in) | Head rests on the shoulder or collarbone | 5'2" and 6'0" |
| 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in) | Head against the chest | 5'0" and 6'4" |
| More than 50 cm (20 in) | Head at the stomach or waist | A child and an adult |
How the hug simulator works
Body proportions are fairly constant: the chin sits at about 87% of a person's height, the shoulders at about 82%, the middle of the chest at about 72% and the navel at about 60%. The tool divides the shorter height by the taller one and compares the result with those landmarks.
