Now you can have sex without even touching another human being! Yeah, this is one activity I think I've going to stick to the old meatspace/wetware paradigm for, sorry guys. OTOH I'm sure it's a fun device to work on :)

What we've invented here is a new channel for intimacy that falls somewhere between a webcam chat and being in the same room -- it's a big deal!

I'm not sure how dismissing your post is meant to be- but many people in long distance relationships would love having such a product.

Some items from the video that were not mentioned in the article: One to many interactions, Record and replay experiences, Pre-recorded games/videos. Of course, none of the above should really be a surprise but they still caught me off-guard.

Possibilities really open up with the telemetry translation api -- realizing that the telemetry is digital, and only has to be encoded once to be read for any purpose for any supported device is huge. We expect to be very busy for a long time fleshing out all the applications we have in mind. One that we're working on is using a users webcam to monitor heart rate (similar to the xbox one + kinect) and use that information to create a soft vibration that pulses in their partners device in time, so when one gets "excited" the other can feel the haptic feedback and vice versa simultaneously..

This is some real scifi stuff we're doing and it's very exciting

Yes I did think that might be one application, though I'm not sure how sold I would be even then. To each their own, and perhaps it would be better than nothing, but it would kill the intimacy aspect for me.
