Kiss These Lips NOW: New Device Allows Couple to Kiss - Even if They're Thousands of Miles Apart

A new device will allow couples to be intimate with each other without even being in the same country.

The Remote Kiss - a pair of silicone lips studded with pressure sensors and tiny motors - promises to recreate the pressure and movement of a lover's snog.

The invention has been patented by the Changzou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology, where its creator's own relationship issues provided the inspiration for its design.

Inventor Jiang Zhnogli said: "In my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only contact with each other through phone. That's where the inspiration of this device originated".
