Now Artificial Affection

Independent - Meet MUA, the long-distance kissing machine that has taken the tech world by storm and was inspired by the isolation and lack of physical intimacy experienced by many during lockdowns in China. Developed by Beijing-based Siweifushe, MUA uses motion sensors hidden in silicon lips to collect “kiss data” from a user, which is then transmitted to the device of a receiver, allowing the person to experience the sensation of being kissed in real time...  It also captures and replays sound and warms up slightly during kissing, making the experience more authentic.
