A Japanese university lab has created a machine and software to transmit a “kiss” over the internet to a person with identical twisting-straw-like hardware at the other end.
It’s an interesting but completely inaccurate and creepy interpretation of transmitting a tactile sensation over the web.
Which of the other 5 senses will be transmitted next? When do we get smell-o-vision on the web? :)
