Virtual sex devices coming
As the world flocks to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, nearby another expo is quietly on display  : the Adult Entertainment Expo -- and they have their own handhelds to showcase.
Â
Brett Drysdale of RealTouch recently demonstrated a "the newest breakthrough in sex technology." according to AFP.
Â
He slipped two fingers into a rocket-shaped RealTouch device "developed and tested by a former NASA engineer" contains belts, lubrication jets, heating elements and other gadgetry programmed to give men the feeling of sex.
Â
The faux-flesh wall is slotted to allow the insertion of a body part of a man's choosing, AFP reported.
Â
RealTouch devices connect to computers with USB cables and synchronize with adult movies streamed online so the inner workings replicate what a fellow might be feeling were he to be the man in the film.
Â
"You watch the action on a screen and a signal is sent to the box to simulate what is happening," Drysdale said to AFP.
Â
The device works with video from an online RealTouch "theater" at a price of one dollar per minute. RealTouch is priced at 150 dollars and begins selling in the US in February.
Â
RealTouch product manager Drysdale said Sunday that it will be available internationally by mid-year.
