A Chinese startup company has created the revolutionary MUA machine that allows for remote kissing!
A Chinese tech company has developed a groundbreaking machine that allows you to kiss your partner from miles away. Equipped with motion sensors and silicone lips, these innovative devices record the users' kiss data and then play it back in real time to the person of your choice! This remarkable invention is revolutionizing the way couples stay connected over long distances.

MUA, named after the sound of a kiss, replicates this experience by recording and playing back the sound, as well as gently warming up during contact for an even more genuine interaction. This innovative system was developed in Beijing by Siweifushe.
The idea for this invention was inspired by prolonged periods of lockdown and the resulting feelings of loneliness. Users can even download data about kisses shared via a connected app from other users around the world. For example, during some of the strictest lockdowns in China, citizens were banned from leaving their homes for months at a time.
"I was in a relationship at the time, but I couldn't see my girlfriend at all because of the lockdown," said inventor Zhao Jianbo.

As a student at the Beijing Film Academy, he focused his thesis on the lack of physical proximity in video calls. He later founded Siweifushe, which launched MUA, its first product, on January 22. The device is priced at 260 yuan ($38).
Within a fortnight of its launch, the company had sold over 3,000 kissing machines and had received around 20,000 orders!
MUA is shaped like a mobile stand, with its colorless lips protruding from the front. All users have to do is download an app onto smartphones and connect to the kissing machines. Once they kiss it, the device will respond by kissing them back!

Consumers have expressed mixed opinions about the device, which is unisex and comes in a variety of shades. While some found its design interesting, others felt uncomfortable using it because it didn't have a tongue. Its lack was one of the main criticisms cited by users.
On the Chinese website Weibo, many users expressed concerns that the device could be used for online erotic content – which is closely monitored in China .
Zhao said his company complies with all regulations, but unfortunately is powerless over how consumers use their device .
MUA isn't the only such device on the market. In 2011, Tokyo University of Telecommunications demonstrated a "kissing machine," and the Imagineering Institute in Malaysia created its own version called Kissinger in 2016.
