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
Wearable devices based on Augmented Reality (AR) technology can overlay computer-generated images into the real world, whereas simulation is applied to enable users to view the real world with an overlay of digital data. In the past 10 years, AR technology has moved from research laboratories to gradually a wide range of commercially available technologies for its use in the medical, manufacturing, industrial design, entertainment, marketing and military applications. This review includes an overview of AR wearables in the last 5 years including its development milestone and application cases, where specifically, some successful application cases and implications of AR technology in the oil and gas industry in the past five years are reviewed, with the aim of discussing the aspects of AR technology applications in the design of oil and gas field surface engineering, from station and line designs to its use in supporting construction. Since AR technology can provide real-time information, it will have a non-negligible application prospect in the whole lifecycle of oil and gas field surface engineering from design to operation and maintenance and will occupy a place in the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry.
