A new messaging device can help you fulfill your wish if you are missing your partner and want to send a kiss.
A new messaging device can help you fulfill your wish if you are missing your partner and want to send a kiss. The device dubbed Kissenger and unveiled at the Designing Interactive Systems conference in Newcastle, UK, in June, lets users send kisses wirelessly to one another.
Developed by Singapore-based Lovotics, Kissenger comprises a pair of pressure-sensitive soft plastic lips, which protrude through a smooth plastic casing the size of a large Easter egg.
The lips contain pressure sensors and actuators. When you kiss them, the shape changes you create are transmitted in real time over the net to a receiving Kissenger.
There, the actuators reproduce the mirror image of the pressure patterns you created- magically transmitting your smacker to your partner.
"People have found it a very positive way to improve intimacy in communications with their partners when they are apart," New Scientist quoted Hooman Samani of Lovotics, as saying.
The device is a prototype and Samani said it would not be commercialised until "all the ethical and technical considerations are covered".
