A device made by a Chinese student has gone viral for allowing long-distance partners to send kisses to each other.
The device features silicone lips and allows users to upload their kisses, as well as receive them through an app.
According to South China Morning post, the device has sensors that can mimic ‘the actual pressure, movement and heat of a kisser’s lips.’
The device was created by a university team from China’s Jiangsu province. Lead inventor Jian Zhongli said that he got the idea for the device after missing his girlfriend, with whom he was in a long-distance relationship.
“In my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we could contact each other only through phone. That’s where the inspiration of this device originated,’ Zhongli explained.
The app-driven device is available to download at Chinese app store Taobao and costs 260 yuan.
