This robotic hand will hold your hand and warm you up when you're lonely

[ReedeFox]

If you’re worried about feeling lonely during this second lockdown, don’t worry because a Japanese company has developed a robotic hand that you can hold on to and it feels just like the real thing. The hand is covered in a soft gel and it has been designed to replicate the feeling of holding hands with a partner. 

 

The hand is called Osampo Kanojo which translates to ‘my girlfriend in walk’. and inventors have described it as an ‘experience holding your girlfriend’s hand more easily than finding a girlfriend.’ Erm, okay. While the tech looks a bit shit and like you’re clutching a polystyrene hand, it’s apparently hyper realistic in the way it feels. The hand also smells like shampoo and can even sweat of you adding a damp cloth between the hands heater and the surface. Pah, make it smell like fanny like it’s been having a scratch and THEN it’ll be realistic.

 

If this all wasn’t weird enough, the hand also makes noises. Through a connected app, users can make the hand emulate the sound of breathing, running and even the rustle of their clothes. I mean yeah, it’s all a bit creepy really isn’t it. All we really want to know is; will it wank me off?! If the answer is no, it’s probably not worth the money.

I love the Japanese inventions in least I never be alone again with one of these but did they really have to call it my Girlfriends in walk instead of the need a hand or the lonely hand walk. I agree why does it make noises like running it called a walking hand not the walk but sounds like running hand lol. In least it won't slap you in the face and you can turn it off when your finish with it in if it only for a walk lol.
