Life-Altering Invention of the Day: Nothing like kissing a creepy hairless egg with moving lips to remind you you’re not alone in the world.

The Kissenger, a new messaging device that lets users send kisses wirelessly to one another, consists of a smooth plastic casing whose pressure-sensitive soft plastic lips contain pressure sensors and actuators.

From New Science:

When you kiss them, the shape changes you create are transmitted in real time over the net to a receiving Kissenger. There, the actuators reproduce the mirror image of the pressure patterns you created — magically transmitting your smacker to your partner.

The device is a prototype, and its creator, Lovotics, says it won’t be brought to market until “all the ethical and technical considerations are covered.”

The spokesman made sure to add: “I am not interested in sexual uses for it.”

We’re not sure that this will really catch on… can anyone say ‘uncanny valley’?

    TBH this reminds me of that egg thing from Beserk. And if you’ve seen Beserk you know that is not a good thing.
