The Kissenger simulates kissing your long-distance lover

Long-distance relationships are difficult because not only is your lover completely removed from your day-to-day life, but you have absolutely zero possibility of Kissenger gadget. The device mimics a real kiss using pressure sensors and actuators. It’s purely for regular pecks on the cheek or mouth — no tongue simulation is available. Sorry.
tangible physical intimacy. This is sad. Researchers from the Imagineering Lab at City University London think they can solve this problem, however, with their new
The Kissenger pairs with a messaging app that lets a user send a kiss, so when one is sent, the Kissenger measures pressure on different parts of the sender’s lips to replicate that exact kiss on the recipient’s Kissenger. The lip part of the device is made of silicon. I don’t think it would feel as nice as a regular kiss, but hey, who knows. Maybe a cold silicon device pushing against your lips would feel good if you knew it came from a loving place.
So far, the team has created a functioning iOS prototype that plugs into a device’s headphone jack. This is clearly not future-proof as the iPhone 7 doesn’t even have a headphone jack. But okay still, maybe one day the Kissenger will let you kiss your lover, or your mom, or even your favorite celebrity. That’s a nice thought at least.

How to connect your Nintendo Switch to the TV

Image
The  Nintendo Switch  is one-part handheld and one-part home console. But how easy is it to connect up to your TV?  The hybrid console can be played in a number of ways. There’s handheld mode, where you play with the controllers attached to the side of the Switch’s display.  There’s also tabletop mode, where you lean the Switch on its kickstand and detach the controllers for solo or group play.  Or there’s docked mode. This allows you to send a video feed from your console to a television in order to enjoy your favorite Nintendo games on a screen deserving of them. The Nintendo Switch’s own screen is only 6.2 inches, after all, with a middling 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution. This makes it perfect for gaming on-the-move, whether you're going on holiday or commuting.  But if you're staying put, replacing that with a 40-inch screen and 1,920 x 1,080 resolution makes a big difference in every sense of the word. And it'll bring out even more loving detail from the g
