Send Kisses Remotely
Kissenger is the name of the strangest invention of the year, an iPhone case that has a good amount of sensors to transmit kisses to another person.
His name is the mix of kiss and messenger, and his goal is to allow the sending of kisses while we video conference with another person. We only have to approach the lips to the base in the front and begin to kiss, since the other person will feel the movements in the same base of the device.
The artificial lip features high precision force sensors, and miniature linear actuators replicate those movements in the kisser's device.
Its creator has been Emma Yann Zhang, and introduced him at the conference Love and Sex with Robots a few days ago, where he said they also intend to record statistics on blood pressure and heart rate to verify if the kiss is being real enough.
It is not the first time we see something similar, in kissenger.lovotics.com already have several videos showing a similar invention, although in this case it is necessary to have an iPhone to include it in the new device. In kissengers.com have more details of how this invention evolved, which was born in 2011 and never reached the market globally.
