Desi Cartman Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Tactile communications: it may not sound too exciting, but it’s precisely the field of research that produced a device which lets users “transmit the feeling of a kiss†long-distance. The Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications has created a device which consists of a hardware receptacle which is placed into the mouth, and software that remembers the movements of your tongue and sends them to the other connected device, which moves accordingly. Advertisement: Story continues below Of course, there’s more to a kiss than just the movement of the tongue, and the folks from Kajimoto plan to recreate them all. “The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue. If we can recreate all of those I think it will be a really powerful device,†they explain in a video showcasing the device prototype. As for the usefulness of such a device, Kajimoto has a couple ideas about that, too: “If you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans,†they conclude. See a video of the device in action below.

Ram Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Just when you think the Japanese couldn’t get any crazier, they come up with this.. I am sorry, but is something really wrong with the Japanese people? They come up with some of the world’s weirdest contraptions. Their movies are renowned for the sheer volume of gore in them. Their ads sometimes range from the mildly spooky to downright scary. Have you seen their reality game shows? People get hurt like crazy in ‘em and people just stand around and laugh.:dontknow: Their pranks could literally scare the you to death (no jokes, their version of a practical joke is to explode a mini-bomb in someone’s living room….:omg:)
Mariyam Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 What is this?? :(( I mean you could just as well move that 'straw' with your hand. What has moving a random box to do anything with kissing? Edit: My mom was passing by when I played this rubbish clip. She asked me what it was and I had to lie that it was some Chinese straw technology. What a stupid lie. :(( What a waste of time 'invention' :whack:
