Virtual sex device arouses interest
Las Vegas
January 13, 2009
VIRTUAL sex is on the way. While nearby porn stars autographed action photos and flashed their assets for camera-clutching fans at the annual Adult Entertainment Expo, Brett Drysdale discreetly demonstrated "the newest breakthrough in sex technology".
He slipped two fingers into a rocket-shaped RealTouch device "developed and tested by a former NASA engineer" that contains belts, lubrication jets, heating elements and other gadgetry programmed to give men the feeling of sex.
One end of the canister-type devices sized to fit easily in one's lap is made of soft "Haptic" synthetic material akin to that used for nipples of baby bottles.
The faux-flesh wall is slotted to allow the insertion of a body part of a man's choosing.
RealTouch devices connect to computers with USB cables and synchronise with adult movies streamed online so the inner workings replicate what a fellow might be feeling were he to be the man in the film.
"You watch the action on a screen and a signal is sent to the box to simulate what is happening," said Mr Drysdale, RealTouch product manager.
The device works with video from an online RealTouch "theatre" at a price of $US1 ($A1.43) a minute. RealTouch is priced at $US150 and will go on sale in the US next month.
Mr Drysdale said the device would be available internationally by mid-year.
Anyone gonna buy?
