Chinese Company Invents Kissing Machine For Couples
China comes up with unique technologies everyday. Today, let us see the one that allows you to kiss even when your partner is not physically present!
Many people are in long distance relationships where they miss their partners. Many couples crave intimacy and miss kissing their partners. Do you know that now it is possible to kiss your partner even if they are not with you. Do you know how it is possible? Well technology has made it possible.
A Chinese man named Zhao Jianbo said, ‘During the COVID lockdown, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend. I used to miss being with her and miss kissing her as I could not meet her. I used to video call but I was never satisfied.’ That time Jiabo was studying at the Beijing Film Academy. He then decided to create a device that will help other couples like him.’ He later set up Siwei Fushe, a company which released its first product named MUA. The MUA resembles a mobile stand with realistic pursed lips protruding from the front. To use it, lovers must download an app onto their smartphones and pair their kissing machines, which they plug into the phone charging port. They activate the device using the app, then when they kiss it, it kisses back.
The machine that transmits users’ kiss data collected through motion sensors hidden in silicon lips, which simultaneously move when replaying the kisses received.
The device is named MUA - a commonly made sound by people whilst kissing. It also captures and replays sound and warms up slightly during kissing, making the experience more authentic.
The device is available in several colours with the same unisex lips. The product was launched on 22 January 2023. The device is priced at $38. In the two weeks after its release, the firm sold over 3,000 kissing machines and received about 20,000 orders, he said.
It has received mixed reviews, with some users saying it was intriguing and very new whereas others said it made them feel uncomfortable and that it did not feel like a real kiss. Among the top complaints was its lack of tongue. This product gained popularity because it is not limited to people who are in a relationship. Singles can also use it.
MUA is not the first distance kissing device. Researchers at Tokyo’s University of Electro-Communications invented a “kiss transmission machine” in 2011, and Malaysia’s Imagineering Institute made a similar gadget called the “Kissinger” in 2016.
