A group of university students in China have solved the woes of long-distance couples everywhere by inventing a device that lets users experience the authentic feeling of kissing their partner. However, the 3D lip-shaped contraption has unsurprisingly sparked some creeped out reactions from the internet.

The invention was patented by the Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology in eastern Chinaâ€™s Jiangsu province, according to Chinaâ€™s Global Times. The silicon device, complete with a mouth-shaped module, is meant to mimic the pressure, movement, and temperature of a kisserâ€™s lips using sensors.

The kissing machine works by pairing the device with a mobile app and plugging the device into the phoneâ€™s charging port. After pairing the device with their partner on the app, long-distance couples can â€œuploadâ€� their kisses using the deviceâ€™s mouth-shaped module, which then transfers to the receiverâ€™s end. The machine can even transmit the sound the user makes when they kiss.

Lead inventor Jiang Zhongli told the Global Times that he was in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend when he came up with the idea for the device.

â€œIn my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only contact with each other through phone,â€� the state-run media outlet reported. â€œThatâ€™s where the inspiration of this device originated.â€� Jiang also said the device could be used to promote monogamous relationships, as it can only pair up one sender and one receiver at a time. It also requires the consent of both parties, per theSouth China Morning Post.

The app can reportedly also help users meet someone new. According to CNN, two strangers can anonymously exchange kisses in the â€œkissing squareâ€� function of the app. Users can also â€œuploadâ€� their kisses in the app for others to download and experience. Posted by JR
