Japan Invents Internet Kissing Machine

So this is where Japan has been spending all its time and money instead of the games industry....
That 'man' has clearly never actually kissed a girl.

Dammit Japan, really? You know, I love your games and anime, but sometimes I just don't know what to do with you.
I won't lie. I'm not attractive enough to get the very attractive women and guys, so as soon as they tie in social custom made avatars and "fully interactive interaction", it will probably be the end of my dating XD
Brian Posehn describes the frustration perfectly

This is just gross.
Also kissing is a two way street, from what I understand that instrument only has one input.
Not to mention anyone ever admits to having used one of those is a hopeless reject. I'm sorry dating over Halo or Facebook or WoW is pathetic enough but too then simulate kissing by this shit. Fuck, invent the sex machine part and all the closet shut ins will die out in 1 generation.
Also imagine the people using it. 2 45 year old guys will be going at it thinking the other is a girl. Or a 12 year old boy whichever.

Whut.
*reads article and watches vid*
I'd rather do it the traditional way... You know, with another human being (hopefully female in my case).
DAMNIT! My guess was that your pun was going to be "That device looks a little too french to be made in Japan" argh I thought I got it right this time!HankMan said:
Wow. Now don't get me wrong, I offer my deepest sympathies to this marvelous country, but THIS is the kind of behaviour that makes me slam my head on the keyboard and groan. I mean, come on, surely you guys have more to offer to the world technologically than a machine that gives introverted people a kiss.
Um... I don't mean to point out the obvious but, how does spinning a straw with you tongue simulate a kiss? I mean, when I kiss my partner their usually isn't a straw involved...
Perhaps this is just in it's super alpha stage or whatever, but if they actually want to simulate a kiss they have a lot of work to do... it might help if that guy doing the testing actually went out and kissed someone... you know so he would have a proper control group lol
Oh Japan...

Huh.
It's actually an interesting technology, but the context is bizarre.
Kissing? Really?
The interesting part is what it does behind the scenes, since one device correctly mimics the behaviour of the other. (and can presumably do so over a network)
Doing that with any degree of precision isn't all that simple, so that part's nice...

No, look at the devices carefully. Specifically, what happens when he hasn't got one in his mouth, and starts messing with the black one.jakefongloo said:
It's not an input/output setup - it's two synchronised devices.
Messing with either one makes the other do the same thing.
So, unless one side of it is a pre-recorded motion, and you actually use this with two people, what will actually result is that both devices make a synchronised set of motions that is the combined effect of what both people are doing to their own controller.
That's actually pretty cool, but applying it to a 'kissing' simulator makes the whole thing seem a lot more stupid.
Would it seem quite so perverse if it simulated arm wrestling instead?
