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
Based on the Expectation Confirmation Model of Information System(ECM-IS), three personal characteristic factors of self-efficacy, privacy concerns, and innovation as well as two external environmental factors of subjective reference and switching costs were introduced to construct a model of factors affecting users’ continuance intention of wearable devices from the perspective of “technology-individual-environment”. 356 valid samples were collected through the questionnaire for empirical analysis. The results of the study show that self-efficacy, switching costs, and perceived usefulness in the ECM-IS model have a significant effect on users’ continuance intention at p<0.001 level while innovativeness and subjective references affect users’ continuance intention at p<0.05, but privacy concerns have no effect on continuance intention.
