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
Smart wearable devices, as one of the directions of smart terminal development, show great potential for application and penetrate into all aspects of social life. In the application of smart wearable devices, the features of body discipline such as obtaining body data precisely to complete quantified self, human–computer interaction from explicit interaction to implicit interaction, and monitoring of the body from expert dependence to technological dependence and the new human–computer relationship hidden behind them are increasingly highlighted, and the social risk concerns of smart wearable device application will also come into play, which will lead to personal privacy leakage and technological risks. The social risks arising from the disclosure of personal privacy and technological risks, the loss of human subjectivity and the degradation of working capacity, the distortion of social life and the difficulties of social interaction, the deepening of the digital divide and the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the formation of a “digital leviathan” and the potential for public safety, etc., should be of sufficient concern to society.
