Researchers in Japan have developed a kissing machine that lets users share a kiss more realistic than the flying kisses they give each other during video chats.
The device, created by the Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications, consists of a hardware receptacle that is placed into the mouth.
Then the software records your tongue motion and transmits them to the other connected device, which moves accordingly.
"The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue. If we can recreate all of those I think it will be a really powerful device," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted them as explaining in a video showcasing the device prototype.
"If you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans," they concluded.
