Robotic "Tongue" Lets You French Kiss Over The Internet

Posted by samzenpus on from the how-about-a-nice-game-of-chess? dept.

If you think the idea of french kissing someone over the internet with a robotic tongue is kind of gross, go outside and enjoy your afternoon. For those of you still sitting here, The University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo has just what you've been looking for. The Kiss Transmission Device is a motion-sensing receptacle that records your tongue's movements and then sends that information to a corresponding machine in your partner's mouth. From the article: "In addition to real-time smooching, the Kiss Transmission Device can be programmed to 'remember' specific rotations. The pre-recorded information can then be accessed by multiple recipients. According to the inventor, this could be a good way for celebrities to get closer to their fans." The University gave no word on the possibility of tentacles in future models.

    This is epic...in an extremely awkward and creepy way. It's nice to know that I could always have Courtney Love make out with me without catching the herp.

      Finally you could kiss a boy or girl...or something between without even knowing what you do kiss. Let me OUT. And just for the record, is GOOGLE going to record this data too? Just asking......

    I don't see how any machine could ever be able to replace my wife's kiss.

    Me neither.
