Sending real kisses long distance with 'The Kissinger'

Missing your loved one's kisses might just be a thing of the past with the invention of "The Kissenger", an egg-shaped device with over-sized silicon lips that can send a kiss to someone far away, even in another country.
This robotic device is the brainchild of Dr. Hooman Samani, 31, an artificial intelligence researcher at the Keio-CUTE Centre at NUS, a collaborative laboratory between The National University of Singapore and the Keio University of Japan.
Sensors on the Kissenger detect the kiss and sends electronic pulses to a processor, which then sends it to a server and straight to the recipient via the internet.
We give the device a test run to find out just how effective it is.
