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
By using flexible sensors and micro-control units, a wireless controller that can be integrated into clothing for cross-platform music control has been designed and implemented, providing a new idea for making a simple and low-cost flexible wearable sensing system. The design and implementation of a wireless controller that can be integrated into clothing for cross-platform music control provides a new idea for the preparation of a simple and low-cost flexible wearable sensing system. Based on the flexible fabric sensing material, a simple structured sensor piece is proposed as a button for the controller with good wearing comfort. The sensor element is capable of sensing finger presses up to 15kPa. ESP32 is used as a micro-control unit for sensing signal acquisition and data processing. Using the Bluetooth chip integrated inside the ESP32, the controller can be connected with terminal devices of different platforms for wireless data transmission. The results show that the prepared wireless music controller can be stably connected with both Windows computer terminal and Android cell phone terminal, and the sensor recognition accuracy of finger press is 99.7%, which indicates that the flexible fabric sensor has a broad application prospect in the field of wearable devices.
