They develop a device that connects to the smartphone, which allows kissing and being kissed from a distance, called Kissinger.

The Internet is a world where you can find very bizarre and rare things, such as the Kissinger, which is a device that is attached to the smartphone and allows us to kiss another person without them being present. This device is bi-directional, allowing users to feel the sensation of the kiss. Without being a precedent, it was not Japanese researchers, it was London researchers who developed this prototype.

Researchers in London focus on the development of functions related to haptics, which is the science of touch and the transmission of sensations. Researcher Emma Yann Zhang says this development is intended to help those who have problems related to long-distance relationships. The researcher wrote an article, where it was possible to read 'an effective communication of deep emotions and intimacy through a multisensory experience of communication over the internet'

This prototype is only compatible with iPhone at the moment and can be used with FaceTime and Skype. To launch the kiss, users only have to place their lips on the silicone pads and the pressure exerted is transmitted and interpreted by a series of pressure sensors that are hidden behind the pad. The transmission of this act is sent in real time, so the other user will feel it immediately.

Well, the funniest thing about this is that The Simpsons, for once, have not predicted such a device. It was the series The Big Bang Theory that anticipated this development and predicted a similar version some time ago of a remote kissing device with an internet connection. Now, would you use this device?
