Kissing by Computer?


The internet and smart phones certainly have decreased physical contact (and voice communication) but who’d have thought, you can do it by computer now? Japan has come up with what engadget call an “of-the-wall-innovation” which allows a user to kiss via computer. This device certainly seems a bit of a strange one, but with the internet, working from home, and smartphones, why not send your wife or girlfriend a great whopping tongue kiss whilst you’re away.

The device records and transmits tongue movement from one device to another and users are able to respond from device to device.  It’s in it’s early stages of development and researchers are also looking into “the sense of taste, manner of breathing, and moistness of the tongue”. 

Keep an eye out for one of these crazy devices coming to a computer store near you.
