Many couples are doomed to a long-distance relationship. This kind of relationship is not easy, but with the Kissenger device it will become a little easier. Until now, kissing has been thought of as a mere metaphor, but Kissenger - the "messenger" for kisses - promises to be able to simulate your kiss on another device of its kind, kissing a loved one for you.
Kissinger is an add-on for smartphone with a silicone pad that makes sure it can you physically send the kiss to someone on the other side of the world or lines. The name is a derivative of the words "kiss” (a kiss) and "messenger". The device has silicone lips with sensors that detect lip movement and pressure, those lips can also simulate movements sent by another device.
Put your lips to the device, kiss it, like kissing a real person, and the other Kissenger recreates that kiss for the person in question. Ob video call it all seems so damn real.
