One of the main challenges of distant relationships is the lack of physical contact, a lack that could be slightly covered with a new device developed by a university located in Jiangsu Province China, west of the country.

Mouth to mouth

As explained by the national media of the Asian country Global Times, it is a 'kissing machine' consisting of a silicone module that simulates a human mouth, and which at the same time serves as an induction area. Therefore, this module allows those who use it to kiss, transfer the gesture, form and even temperature from it to the receiver.

Running the device is simple. The gadget must be connected to the phone and an application must be downloaded. Once everything is ready, you only need the people involved in the action to be online and connected by video call.

Mobile already allows you to kiss in real time

This invention not only allows people who are separated by distance to be approached in a 'physical' and 'intimate' way, but also people with oral diseases. In addition, according to CNN, the app has a function that allows you to exchange kisses with strangers and even 'publish' kisses in the app so other people can download and enjoy them.

The price of this loving machine is 288 yuan ( 40 euros), in Taobao, the China sales platform par excellence.

From necessity to reality

The main inventor of this device, Jiang Zhongli, who also graduated from the university where the gadget developed, was inspired by his own experience. "In college, I had a remote relationship with my girlfriend, so we just communicated through the phone. Then the inspiration to develop the invention originated.

Although Jiang applied to patent the product in 2019, it was not until the end of January 2023 that it was finally patented by the Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology.

The artifact has gained great popularity through its dissemination on social networks, and has aroused all kinds of comments: positive because it allows a 'physical approach'; negative that describe it as 'disgusting' and worry about the use that minors can make of it.
