> from a sex tech company called FriXion Nice name. It has an obvious connection to the product, and if you want to give out pens with the name on them you don't have to pay for custom printing [1]! [1] http://www.pilotpen.us/Brands/FriXion.aspx
Interesting to see if Pilot would choose to pursue a trademark-infringement case. "Yes, your honor, we think our writing implements can be reasonably confused with a sex robot."
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sex by touching other human beings is a pretty risky enterprise when you get right down to it.
It's true, but you only live once and what's life without risk?
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.
Fascinating.
How safe is this? It seems difficult to deliver enough force to be realistic without the potential to damage sensitive organs.
We have stronger devices that will also be supported day 1 on the beta, and these devices have their power and stroke length defined in the driver software. These more powerful devices aren't so much robots though, just single axis articulation and no bidirectional feedback -- good enough for accelerometer control though where there's no channel for feedback anyway.
ALSO, remember in encounters with humans communication is key! make sure they know what you want and how, just as if they were really there.

So Justin Bieber could have sex with all his Twitter followers simultaneously. Fascinating.

The realtouch is an "input only" device that sits motionless on a mans lap while the conveyor belts do their job either from an encoded video, or from a live model using a touch sensitive dildo called a joystick. This is flow of telemetry in a single direction -- to the realtouch. Our devices create a tethered sense of physical intimacy and connection. One partner feels whats happening with the other side, and vice versa, simultaneously. Also, our design has all the moving parts on the outside, which we feel is more appealing than sticking your penis into an opaque grinding box. (Our devices are very quiet btw, will be adding new videos next week to demonstrate)
You can imagine when we add support for the realtouch that other devices on the platfrom such as the robot itself and accelerometer products will be able to send telemetry to the device to control its functions, and vice versa, the joystick would be able to send telemetry to the robots to manipulate a fleshlight/tenga/sleeve. It's really a robust api that enables all devices to interact where their functionalities overlap.
However, we should all be supportive of realtouch right now -- it appears they're having licensing issues with a certain patent holder that is turning the screws on them and without intervention they wont be able to continue selling devices next year. Dealing with this minefield of patents and licensing has been an important predicate for our development at frixion, and we are eager to create a "safe haven" for other developers to deploy their devices under the agreements we hold in the future.
