This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.

Abstract
Knitted sensor has the advantages of lightness, conformity, good strain tensile recovery and formability, which provides a possibility for flexible and non-inductive motion signal monitoring and smart wearable sports health clothing preparation. This paper reviews the preparation methods of knitted sensors, analyzes the influence of yarn types, fabric microstructure and tensile sensing direction on its sensing performance, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of knitted sensors in the fields of life and health, human movement and other fields. It is pointed out that the type, structure and weaving method of the conductive yarn are important factors affecting the performance and wearing comfort of knitted sensors, and the electrical characteristics of the two-dimensional extension and three-dimensional deformation in the strain stretching process of knitted sensors determine the effective strain sensing range. This paper outlines the development opportunities and challenges faced by knitted sensors in the field of sports and health clothing.
