Maybe, but a "museum quality" fucking machine pretty much sets itself so far off the consumer market that it might as well not exist except possibly as a proof-of-concept.

Tho, the size of that thing does illustrate some of the problems with building a practical consumer virtual sex interface.

And its just a cock, to fit the virtual marketplace, which is the real market for these things, you need a cock-pussy combo.

There are a few "web enabled" dildos - but they are close to pointless, and their interface is clumsy - so I've been told, I never wanted to plunk down $150-250 for something whose specs sounded lame to begin with, just to see what the interface was like.

Not long ago I heard secondlifes xcite cocks and pussies now have some kind of lomg-distance interface - but I don't know what real sextoys they can control.

Advanced haptics are still pretty much lab curiousities, so I can imagine we dont have the tech yet to make a cock-pussy interactive combo.

But the real market for these things isn't porn movies with embedded code to drive a fancy fleshlight, its as a long-distance sex interface between real people.
