I can now officially say that I’ve seen everything. A kissing device to that you can send smooches over the internet. It’s being advertised as a way for couples in long-distance relationships to have some physical intimacy.
The device was created by Jiang Zhongli. He was in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend and found intimacy challenging while they were apart. Because of challenges, most of their communication was through phone calls. That’s when he came up with the idea to invent a device to allow couples to kiss through the phone.
The device has pressure sensors and actuators that will allow the device to simulate a real kiss. It imitates a real kiss by simulating the pressure, movement, and temperature of a user’s lips.
The way that it works is that you need to download a mobile phone app, plug the device into your phone’s charging port. You pair it with your partner in the app and start a video call to exchange kisses.
Check it out in action, as well as some of the reactions to the kissing device.
