A student at the university in East China’s Jiangsu Province invented a kissing device that allowed long-distance partners to enjoy an authentic kiss.
The device links with the phone via Bluetooth and an app, which is where all similarities with other gadgets end.
Dubbed the “magic tool for long-distance kissing,” the device works by one party kissing their device and the other party feeling it on their lips.
Jiang Zhongli, a leading design inventor, said, “I was in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, so we only had contact with each other through the phone. That’s where the inspiration for this device originated.”
Behind the grand romantic idea, there is a questionable design. The device has a mouth-shaped module, most likely made of silicone. The movements of each party’s lips are recognized by sensors in the device’s silicone equivalent and transmitted via the internet.
Once it gets to the other person’s device, it replicates the movements.
Though the idea is not new, since there have been several attempts to create a solution for long-distance partners, this device already has the attention of the internet.
Of course, many social media users also pointed out that “Howard invented this on ‘The Big Bang Theory’?”
And though it has the attention of many, the patent was approved, and Jiang hopes that someone will help him perfect the design.
Remote kissing device for long-distance lovers, invented and patented by Chinese university student in Changzhou City.

Others on Reddit said, “It looks like something else.” Another Reddit user added, “This is going to be used for a variety of things.”
Most comments were funny, though it should come as no surprise. Apart from 2016’s Kissinger, this is a brand new innovation. Some made excellent points, though, “You were biting my tongue. Why do you have to make everything weird.”
Or this good comment “Why did you stop kissing me? Wait a minute, it freezes.”
A sense of curiosity mixed with disbelief followed the tweet showing how the device works. Some called it “Disturbing,” while others were already thinking about breaking up in cyberspace, “Then one day you start to think she’s just resending the kisses she recorded earlier.”
There is one obvious upside of the product: it does not allow “kissing disease” to spread.
How do you feel about this and similar devices? Do you think this is the future? Or is this just the beginning?
