Long-distance relationships can be really difficult, especially with the lack of physical intimacy.
But with technology advancing, that may all just be a thing of the past.
In the most recent invention, a group of university students in China created a kissing device that lets you make out with your partner from across the seas, country, or city.
Shaped like a mouth, the device is to be attached to your phone for you to smooch, which will then be replicated on the other end, where your partner can receive and return the gesture
Global Times reported that the silicone device was patented by the Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology and was designed to allow long-distance lovers the opportunity to transfer a kiss.
It replicates the pressure, movement, and the temperature of the user's lips. It can even reportedly transmit the sound a user makes as well.
"In my university, I was in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only contact with each other through phone. That's where the inspiration of this device originated," said Jiang Zhongli, the leading inventor of the design and graduate from the university, according to Global Times.
To send a kiss, users will need to download an app and plug in the device to the charging port
According to CNN, people can even upload their 'kisses' to the app and meet strangers in the 'kissing square', where others can download your smooch and experience it.
The device is currently on sale on Taobao for CNY260 (RM169) each and CNY550 (RM357) a pair. Independent reported that it is selling at a rate of more than 100 lip units a month!
