04:40Missing the kissing? Chinese developer showcases 'artificial lips' smartphone attachment for long-distance smooching
Romance was in the air and things got more than a little steamy after a plug-in smartphone device that enables long-distance kisses sold like hot potatoes shortly after it was unveiled by the Chinese developers in Hangzhou City.
The marketing director of 'Long Lost Touch' Hao Yi Sen and the creator of the device Zhao Jian Bo were seen in a showroom on Monday showcasing the candy-coloured device with its movable artificial lips. Workers from the company demonstrated a classic video call, but with the device plugged in, enabling the two to kiss remotely.
"There are very few such products or apps that can deliver a touch, a feeling, a feeling online," said the creator Zhao Jian Bo.
The device which had its test production and launch in January sold out of all its 1,500 prototypes in just 20 days.
"We want to ramp up production now and take the product out to the world so that the world can see our product, and hopefully our product will give young people around the world something new to experience," said Marketing director Hao Yi Sen.
The device is made of silicone and is equipped with micro-sensors that can detect not only the movements of the real user's lips but also pressure, temperature and even sounds. When connected to another user through a conversation, those 'sensations' are then sent to the other device, imitating a kiss.
