Apparatus for kissing distance

A university team has invented a device to kissing distance.

It has the shape of an egg, pressure sensitive lips and the sensation of a kiss to anyone who has a same device.

The Kissenger is a device that allows users to send kisses to their partners, provided they have a similar device.

The device consists of soft plastic lips and sensitive to pressure, inserted into a soft packing in the form of an egg.

When kissed, the applied pressure is transmitted in real time to the unit receiver that replicates this pressure.

"People have assumed that is a positive way to enhance intimacy with their partners when they are separated," said Hooman Samani of Lovotics, the maker of Kissinger, quoted by New Scientist.

The Kissenger is still a prototype that will not be marketed until they have evaluated all technical and ethical aspects.

"I'm not interested that is used for sexual purposes," says Samani.

This is not the first device to kissing distance.

Last year a Japanese university created a simulator tongue kissing, which contained a straw that could be moved by the user.

These movements were repeated by a straw in another device, thereby mimicking a tongue kiss.

Hooman Samani believes that the creation Japan goes too far.

"No need to pass all the parameters of a kiss.

The main objective is to improve the relationships at a distance," he says.

what´s the fun in that? I mean, using that device, instead of having a real kiss? this is hilarious.

I agree with you bb1.
