Haptics is the technological advancement that integrates users sense of touch into entertainment. For example, you know when you’re playing XBOX 360 and you feel a vibration through your controller? That’s haptics. But now, companies are advancing this technology into the adult industry as well. RealTouch is a company that is making virtual sex closer to reality. Their product, designed by a former NASA engineer, incorporates a device for men that follows along with whatever naughty video you choose from their long list.
How does it work? The unit has a soft skin-like interior and massages your penis while the orifice lightly squeezes for perfect tightness. Lubrication is released to create a natural level of wetness while heating elements gradually warm the inside to body temperature. All this happens while you watch a video from Real Touch’s online video theater and the unit synchronizes its movements to reproduce exactly what you see on the screen.
There are several pricing plans. Once you buy the unit you can never pay again, and just your it with your imagination. Or you can pay to watch their synchronized virtual sex movies. They offer unlimited viewing, scene rentals, and a pay per minute plan. The pay 49 cents per minute has to be our favorite plan, since it means it’s only 98 cents a pop. What can we say?
You'll even be able to Tickle Torture your future sex robot.
Silicone sex dolls are the state of the art in artificial lovers, and we are a long way from real sex robots. But one thing that would help move sex dolls forward dramatically would be to make them touch sensitive, and responsive according to your touch. Touch response already exists, but we’re talking about touch screens on ipod and tablet computers–not exactly the type of surface you want to be interacting with.
What we need is a breakthrough in skin that not only recognizes your touch, but also feels like real skin. Well, now technology is taking us that one step closer to this intermediate step towards sex robots.
CNET reported:
British materials firm Peratech is developing artificial electronic skin for robots at MIT’s Media Lab that will allow machines to know where they have been touched and with what degree of pressure. So you could tickle, back-slap, or caress your favorite robot, and it would know the difference.
Peratech is using its “quantum tunnelling composite” (QTC) material to create touch-sensitive skin for intelligent machines at MIT. QTC is a low-cost, flexible, and electrically conductive material that would give robots a new means of interacting with people.
Made of spiky metallic nanoparticles and silicone rubber, QTC works by changing from an insulator into a conductor when pressure is applied. Peratech says robots equipped with QTC skin would be able to detect where they have been touched using a matrix of sensors on various body parts.
Peratech’s material has been used as a touching technology in NASA’s Robonaut, and well as by the Shadow Robot Company. No doubt robotic hands and manipulators would benefit from touch-sensitive skin for better grasping of objects, but I bet sex robot developers will take a lot of interest in this sort of material, too
“No doubt robotic hands and manipulators would benefit from touch-sensitive skin for better grasping of objects?” Yeah, that’s what we were thinking too.
Amber has pushed the limits with sex dolls. She purchased an exact replica of herself, down to every detailed, created for her own pleasure. Hot, weird, narcissistic, who cares? Granted we would have chosen to go with a slightly hotter sex doll, but the fact that she married herself is pretty damn cool.
It’s got us asking, is banging a sex doll that looks like you considered masturbation?
Seth MacFarlane is the man responsible for controversial, animated television hits, like “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” and “The Cleveland Show.” On Valentine’s Day, he worked a not-so-hallmark version of the famed holiday into “The Cleveland Show,” by including sex doll drama. In “The Cleveland Show,” a character is seen disposing of a body — thought to be his mother — but it turns out…to be a sex doll.
The sex doll, and soon enough, the sex robot, making its way into mainstream television.
Just when we thought we could leave the toilet seat up, they had to go and make sex dolls talk. All we men really wanted was for them to shut up and put out. Was that too much to ask? Damn you inventor Douglass Hines, what where you thinking!
“She doesn’t vacuum or cook, but she does almost everything else,” said her inventor, Douglas Hines, who unveiled Roxxxy last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
So wait, she talks, but she doesn’t vacuum or cook? We think he’s got things backwards.
But it gets worse:
Powered by a computer under her soft silicone “skin,” she employs voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to answer questions and carry on conversations. She even comes loaded with five distinct “personalities,” from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy, that can be programmed to suit customers’ preferences.
She has multiple personalities? Watch out. Put it in the wrong hole, and she might flip a switch.
We admit there are some nice features though:
A motor in her chest pumps heated air through a tube that winds through the robot’s body, which Hines says keeps her warm to the touch. Roxxxy also has sensors in her hands and genital areas — yes, she is anatomically correct — that will trigger vocal responses from her when touched. She even shudders to simulate orgasm.
Ok, that’s cool. But Hines might have gone too far, when he said:
“To make it as realistic as possible, she has different dialogue at different times. She talks in her sleep. She even snores.”
So she snores, can’t cook, can’t vacuum, and talks. Could you at least have made her hot?
