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.
Yeah, this is right on track with what he is currently working on actually. I should hit him up about the thread so he can elaborate.
