An exciting tech project called Kissenger is brewing for people who really want to send a kiss over to their partners and families living far away. If this project gets completed, you can now send realistic kisses to your loved ones.
Kissenger is a smartphone adapter that can simply be plugged in and "transmit realistic kissing sensations to your partner real-time", according to its website. This was created for "couples in long distance relationships" and families that are "living in different parts of the world".
The developers boasted it has "high precision force sensors under silicon lip" to reproduce the accurate forces of the sender's kiss.
The device was created by Emma Yann Zhang and her team in Imagineering Lab, London. Kissenger's first working prototype was developed for iOS devices. It has to be paired with a mobile app to send a realistic kiss.
This was Zhang's PhD project, which is still being researched and developed. You can check out Kissenger here.
