The device, which transmits users’ kiss data collected through motion sensors hidden in silicon lips, makes sounds and warms up slightly when kissed
A Chinese start-up has invented a long-distance kissing machine that transmits users’ kiss data collected through motion sensors hidden in silicon lips, which simultaneously move when replaying kisses received.
Users can even download kissing data submitted via an accompanying app by other users. The invention was inspired by lockdown isolation. At their most severe, China’s lockdowns saw authorities forbid residents to leave their apartments for months on end.“I was in a relationship back then, but I couldn’t meet my girlfriend due to lockdowns,” said inventor Zhao Jianbo.
In the two weeks after its release, the firm sold over 3,000 kissing machines and received about 20,000 orders, he said. A remote kissing device called “Long Lost Touch” is displayed on the table at its owner Jing Zhiyuan’s home, in Beijing, China.The device is available in several colours with the same unisex lips. It has received mixed reviews, with some users saying it was intriguing whereas others said it made them feel uncomfortable. Among the top complaints was its lack of tongue.“Very uncomfortable, it doesn’t feel like a real kiss,” they said on Chinese online shopping platform, Taobao.
