The Device is for Communications within the Mouth

The blogsphere lit up today because Diginfo TV released a video on the kiss transmission device from Kajimoto Laboratory. Kajimoto Laboratory is working on a number of products intended to, as they put it, “hack human function [and] enrich human culture by interface design”. What could be more enriching than being able to send a kiss to someone far away, without leaving the comfort of your own home. Or favorite coffeehouse. Or parents’ home. The Diginfo TV video is interesting, but not especially hot. I assume the demo presenter is a scientist and he suggests that recordings of celebrity kisses on the device would be popular. I’m thinking they might want to spend a little bit of their grant money on getting some videos of some really kissable lips using their machine interface. For example, my thumbnail here features Dana Dark’s delicious lips from GothicSluts.com.
