A Chinese company invents a lockdown-inspired kissing machine for remote lovers.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Inspired by lockdown quarantines, a Chinese startup has invented a long-range kissing machine that transmits user kiss data collected through motion sensors hidden in silicon lips.

Based in Beijing, the MUA, named after the sounds commonly made when kissing, captures and plays back the sounds and warms them up slightly while kissing, making the experience even more authentic. said Siweifushe.

Users can also download kiss data sent by other users via the accompanying app.

The idea arose from China’s frequent and prolonged widespread lockdown measures during the three-year-long COVID-19 pandemic.

Inventor Zhao Jianbo said, “I was dating at the time, but I couldn’t meet my girlfriend because of lockdown.

Then a student at the Beijing Film Academy, he focused his graduation project on the lack of physical intimacy in video calls. He then founded his Siweifushe and released his first product, his MUA, on his January 22nd for around 260 yuan ($38).

In the two weeks since its release, the company has sold more than 3,000 kissing machines and received about 20,000 orders, he said.

The MUA resembles a mobile stand, with realistic pursed lips protruding from the front. To use it, lovers need to download the app on their smartphones, pair the kissing machine, and plug it into their smartphone’s charging port. They use an app to activate their device and kiss them back.

The device is available in several colors with the same unisex lips. It has received mixed reviews, with some users finding it intriguing and others finding it offensive.

Some commentators on social media site Weibo also expressed concern that the device could be used for online sexual content, which is highly regulated in China.

Zhao said his company complies with regulations, but “there is little we can do about how people use their devices.”

MUA is not the first remote kissing device. A researcher at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo he invented a “kiss transmitter” in 2011, and the Imagineering Institute in Malaysia he created a similar gadget called “Kissinger” in 2016.
