The latest iteration of a virtual kissing machine is the brainchild of a recently graduated student named Jiang Zhongli, while the patent rights are held by the Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology in China. “In my university, I was in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only contact … each other [by] phone. That’s where the inspiration of this device originated,” Ziangli told the Chinese state news outlet Global Times.
Remote kissing device for long-distance lovers, invented and patented by Chinese university student in Changzhou City.

The fake lips on the kissing device actually move back and forth to replicate natural lip movements. Reviews for the device range from “it’s a game changer for me” to “this is disturbing,” while some are outraged that it lacks a fake tongue to deliver a proper smooching experience. Its creator, on the other hand, is pushing it as a solution for maintaining monogamy and also as a tool for people who can’t physically meet due to disease.
The companion app also lets you record the kissing session and download the video for memory’s sake, plus, when two people are kissing virtually, the app compares the strength of their smooching and shows the results in real time. As well, there is also a dating aspect to it where you pick someone from a pool of registered users and send them a real-feeling virtual kiss. Of course, this isn’t the only arguably pointless gadget to reach the market.
