Re: PainStation
#52another commenter mentioned it, wonder why they went with real pain instead of the less messy simulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grill_illusion maybe they tried it and learned it can be beaten?
I think it's on purpose, there're comments in this thread saying that its whip can even make you bleed.

They should have used the thermal grill illusion instead of real heat
Amazing, I had no idea illusory pain existed. I've actually been looking for a safe way to induce pain, and this seems promising. I would have thought the BDSM community would make use of this, but a quick googling doesn't turn up any products. Any idea why?
A notorious local dominatrix revealed many years ago the trick of "burning" her customers with a clothes iron stored in the refrigerator.

#54In the good ole days, we did something similar with ungrounded outlets and metal cases. For all the rounds of work on "Virtual Reality;" so very few have worked on simulating anything but the pleasant sensations. Its as if people are imagining a world with no negative feedback.
If pain couldn't be pleasant, there would not be BDSM or mexican food. Also, some racing simulator have reached a point where you take a beating racing a rally stage. Maybe not to the point you are feeling pain but you don't really come out of them relaxed.
I guess I have a new "what do x and y have in common?" joke.
I'll second the rally simulator comment. I played one at some arcade in Chicago a few times and couldn't sleep that night. Those things get your adrenaline going.

How about capsaicin induced pain? That should be very safe as long as you don't go crazy with the most extreme peppers/extractions.

Hypnosis community engages in all sorts of sense creation through hypnosis.

#57I wrote a script that shocks the user with a Pavlok ( https://shop.pavlok.com/pages/pavlok-homepage/ ) whenever they die in Counter-Strike :)

Re: PainStation
#58tried this out last year at the computer game museum and it is definitively very much fun to play, even if you're worse at pong than your enemy you might win if the enemy receives the pain by surprise. i also received some minor skin damage by the whipping onto my hand

Yes of course: https://github.com/ayancey/ZeusIRL
I modified code from this repo: https://github.com/ztrayl3/PyPav2
The oAuth API sucks. These people managed to reverse engineer the BLE communications, and I slightly modified it to work for the newer Pavlok 3.
