A University in China has invented a kissing device that is thought to help long-distance couples share intimacy despite the distance. The Kissing device has silicone lips and pressure sensors which make it mimic a real kiss as it can replicate the movement, pressure, and temperature of a user’s lips as well as transmit the sound made by the user.

Using the device is quite simple since you only need to download a mobile app and plug it into the phone’s charging port. As soon as you pair your device with that of your partner on the app, you can video call and transmit kisses to each other.

The inventor of the kissing device Jiang Zhongli says he drew his inspiration when he was in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend which forced him to keep in touch with her through the phone. Does the device end the woes of long-distance partners?
