FreeSex: Sex and Second Life, Version 1.0
FreeSex: Sex and Second Life, Version 1.0
Second life is like Legos for adults. Adults who like to have sex. Who like to have sex a LOT. Therefore, it's only fitting that Slashdong joins in on the game, and makes First Life more fun through Second Life. With our client, you can now connect any DirectInput Force Feedback controller to your computer, and control the force feedback functions from the game. As every good slashdong reader knows, once you have force feedback, you have SEX!
In other words, we just turned Second Life into a Teledildonics service, with cheap, reusable hardware, and a $10 entry fee. See, told you we'd be shaking things up.

Vixen Creations Invents New Type of Synthetik Skin
Vixen Creations Invents New Type of Synthetik Skin
Looks like there's a new competitor to Cyberskin out on the market, and from the gossip on the street (yes, the street where everyone talks about dildos), it's supposed to be extra.... fleshy? Vixen Creations is releasing a new line of toys using a material they've discovered called VixSkin, claiming to be the closest thing to real skin that can't say no without legal consequences. The fact that they've named their first toy after everyone's favorite typesetting software is just icing on the cake.

LifeStone control in Second Life: Working from the Inside Out
LifeStone control in Second Life: Working from the Inside Out
First off, let it be known that I have drank the perverbial Kool-Aid that is Second Life. Please send all of your L$ to "qDot Bunnyhug" (or at least IM me and say hi. It's lonely!)
Anyways, thanks to the instant rabid addiction interesting concept of the game, I've spent more of the last 24 hours than I really want to admit reading up on all of the blogs, wikis, forums, and anything else I could get my hands on about the game.
To give an incredibly poor explanation, Second Life is like IRC with graphics. There's no real goal or game to it, you can simply fly around and talk to people. You can also buy land, buy objects, build houses, start businesses, and make money (both in game, and real, since in game dollars can be translated into real cash). The game has a state-based scripting language known as LSL that allows you to add behaviors to any object you like, including XML-RPC requests.
Through XML-RPC calls, you can retrieve info about things happening in the game, and do whatever you like with that info on the outside world. You can also send information into the game in order to create and alter events.
Thanks to the inguinuity of the user base, The Lifestone (mentioned in the previous post) is now being harnessed as an alternative control method for in-game events. A client running outside of the SL process will pick up biofeedback information from the Lifestone and relay it into the game to cause events, such as changing the luminesence of the character based on pulse rate. There is an SL forum post by the client authors about the proposed uses for the client, but you'll need a SL account to actually read it.
Now, this isn't a full XML-RPC implementation. It's inbound ONLY. You can't create outbound requests due to the game authors not wanting to cause security/flooding issues for outside sites. This has been a topic of much debate. Also, you can only check for information once every 3 seconds (due to a 3 second relay in the RPC response function), so there's not gonna be a lot of high resolution, real-time control happening, either inward or outward. However, it's still a damn neat toy to play with, esp. with an entry fee of $9.
If you're wondering if you're thinking what we're thinking about using this, be assured that you are, and we're doing our damnest to learning the scripting system ASAP. :)

The Journey to Wild Divine: Control through Biofeedback
The Journey to Wild Divine: Control through Biofeedback
The Journey to Wild Divine is a game played without joysticks. Instead, it is sold with a biofeedback device called the LifeStone that tracks Skin Conductance Level and Heart Rate Variance in order to open new paths in the game. That's right, it's a game about kickin' back and relaxing. That's it. If you can't chill, you lose.
There's an extension pack available that will also chart your progress and hand you back graphs of how you're doing in terms of relaxation training, and where you could stand to improve.
Well, some people meditate and do yoga to relax, others do, well, you know what they do if you're reading this page. The idea of using this as an online dominance/submission controller could be pretty interesting. Adding the feedback levels to a conferencing program would allow for teasing and pleasure denial on a whole new level... "Hey, calm down, I'm going off cam until your pulse drops...."
Proving that we can make (and will) make anything dirty...

On Using Video Games as Avatar Systems for Cybersex
On Using Video Games as Avatar Systems for Cybersex
Modern games provide massive environments with simple online access methods. Why stop at just playing the game though? With enough imagination and inguinuity, online game environments can become play worlds for new, interesting, and downright fucked up sexual fetishes. You paid for the game, now use it how you like!
In this article, we give some ideas on why games might be the place to have cybersex, what to look for in a game, and how to enhance the experience for all involved. It's not as straight-forward as video conferencing, but you can't crash cars or shoot each other in the head on netmeeting, either.

Computer Scientists working on 3D Model Projection
Computer Scientists working on 3D Model Projection
Current teledildonics technology simply seeks to replicate a specific part of a person. Up until recently, these parts were only made to vibrate, a feat which very few people can pull off in real life. We're now to the point of having toys that thrust, and dolls that gyrate, but why don't we just skip all that and create real, physical models of ourselves to project across the internet?
That's just what two Computer Scientists from Carnegie Mellon are doing. Cameras will capture the state of a room, which can then be recreated using specialized self-organizing "molecules" to create an exact kinetic model in a remote location. Obviously, having this in homes is still a couple of months (or more likely decades) away, but it's still a neat endeavor.

Geek Calendars Continued: SRL Calendar
Geek Calendars Continued: SRL Nude Calendar
So remember a couple of posts back when I was ranting about the lack of geek calendars that I liked?
Well, Survival Research Labs put out a nude calendar for the 2003-2004 year as a tribute to Tim North (link to archive.org version of his site, so might be a little slow), an amazing sound artist who sadly passed away in 2003. It's really cool to see what a group of people will do for a friend they cared about.
I'm not sure if SRL is still selling the calendars, but if they are, you can buy one and be ready when the same day layout happens in 2014.

Substation: Ergonomics applied to Oral Sex
The Substation: Ergonomics applied to Oral Sex
Ergonomics is a hot topics these days, as I'm sure most everyone knows (as they type our URL in on their split keyboard adjusted to perfect wrist height while sitting in their Aerons). Just like computer usage, sex can require people to be in odd positions for long periods of time, causing undue pain (unless you're into stress positions, in which case, you might as well skip this post). Some governments have even begun setting up ergonomics guidelines for their sex workers.
The Substation creates an ergonomic environment designed by women, for women, with female oral sex in mind. Instead of having to bend in weird positions and worry about stress on the knees (damn rug burn), this chair provides an ideal situation for the giver and receiver. It comes with height-adjustable leg supports and the option of bondage d-rings. It doubles as a nice, fairly inconspicuous piece of bedroom furniture, too!

Rectaltronics: MILSpec Butt Plugs
Rectaltronics: MILSpec Butt Plugs
Filled with enough puns to make even the most seasoned Xanth reader woozy, Rectaltronics offers all the parts you could possibly need to set up a butt plug so devastasting it could start the next World War. From the "Pooper Power" power supplies to the "Dr. Mengele" oscillators and VAX compatible "DynaVibe" control software working over the RS-232 based ButtStream(tm) bi-directional data standard, this has to be the most specialized butt plug site I've ever seen. Mass usage has even caused some sysadmins to have to reconfigure their firewalls.

Calender Madness
Geek Girl Calendar and UNIX Calendar, false advertising abounds
Every proper sex toy mechanic has to have some sort of calendar up on their wall... Too bad you're either going to have to really, really, REALLY use your imagination, or else just settle for a big ol' bowl of suck (and if you're into guys, well, there's pictures of Linus, Bjarne, and others all over the net, make your own damn calendar).
Starting with the bad first, The Girls Of Geekdom. Oh come the fuck on people, I mean, really, we've been here before, except Geek Fantasies was a *JOKE*. They're actually expecting you to shell out $15 for a god damn calendar where the "Computer Geek Girl" BRAGS ABOUT CODING HTFUCKINGML. If I'm shelling out cash, I was to know the girl in that picture has made one of the posts on Lambda The Ultimate that I can barely understand because I forgot all of my language theory right after college (and subsequently got a job where I have to do language design. Go me.). I want my Horror Geek to be masturbating to Cannible Holocaust. I want my Robotics Geek Girl to... Oh wait. They didn't have one. Personal fantasy getting in the way there...
Anyways, if you're gonna claim to be geek, then FUCKING BRING IT. Don't sully the term with this wimpy ass shit.
Then there's this UNIX Girls Calendar. At least there's some nakedness this time, but how am I sure that car is running a real flavor of UNIX, and not just like, Ubuntu or some shit? Can someone write the uname response on one of the girls in lipstick or something? It'd just make me feel a little better about the whole thing.
For everyone that's looking for the Hot Men of Cumputing (*giggle*) Calendar, well, I'm sure there will be a GNU Version Calendar released someday. Then all your Stallmen in Speedo needs will be fulfilled.

More info on 3Feel
UPDATE For Visitors From March 2006 Wired Article: Since Wired had their heads supremely up their asses on their sex game article (2 unpublished games, 1 alpha game, 1 released game, and NO URLS. WTF?), here's a rundown of what's up. I haven't heard anything about 3Feel from CMNet since E3 of last year, which I'm guessing means they've yet to find a publisher. So, if you're coming here to find out where you can pick up the game, I'm sorry, but I have no clue. Assuming you can read Korean, you can find more info on the game at 3Feel.com. If you want more up to date info on Sex in Video Games, check out the IGDA's Sex in Games Blog
It looks like there's been more work happening on 3Feel. However, instead of talking about it myself, I'll let the press release do the talking for me.
Usually I wouldn't post a straight press release about a game, but the fact that they made a point to feature same sex relations in the game makes me feel like it's worth it to give it a little extra press.
---
[Description]
3FEEL Community Sex Game has approached to sexual desires of adults in various angles making it real to its maximum in the game. This is a new conceptual community game that enables users to transfer their interpersonal feelings.
3FEEL stands for a sense of Sight, Hearing and Touch carrying a meaning that it transfers these 3 feelings to users. This is a game that can be enjoyed by adult users at their maximum satisfactions.
[Characteristics]
3FEEL is realized so as to make both users hear his or her partner’s voice in real time viewing each other’s figure adopting digital video camera and voice module for the first time in the game industry. Having embraced contents of existing adult sites and applied online games to in a balanced manner, 3FEEL enables users to get their sexual satisfaction to its maximum while enjoying game. It has a system in which users can receive a feeling realistically by linking vibrator to USB port.
Since all movements in the game are to be established by MOTION CAPTURE, users can enjoy natural graphics which are never to be interrupted nor having any absurdity. In 3FEEL, there are not many users involved in a game so that it is able to put emphasis on details and delicacies of character. These thus result a great advantage in 3FEEL game bringing more accurate and higher quality of graphics than other online games. Moreover, it exhibits individual tastes or characteristics, etc. about sex of each user, so then users can indulge into game feeling togetherness realistically with character on the opposite side.
[Same Sex Gaming]
We are ready to upgrade 3feel for same sex lovers.
May 2005 during the E3 convention in L.A something drew everybody’s attention. The 3feel game booth, which was located in the South Korean hall, was the center of the heat. Combining sex and a game, 3feel is the world’s first adult game to communicate in both directions making a step forward to cyber sex showed in the movie ‘Demolition Man’ by Sandra Bullock and Sylvester Stallone. [Slashdong Ed. Note: HOT DOGS!!! ARMOUR HOT DOGS!!!]
Playing 3feel, players have the game partner visual to win their attention during the game with sound dubbings and send them actual feeling through heptic technology.
Beside tasting and smelling the game is using all the senses of a human body like looking, listening and feeling.
The CEO. Shin Do Chul, says, “A game like 3feel is limited due to strict regulations in the Korean market, but we are looking for business partners in the world, and will soon provide service for the adult online game users.” In addition, he mentioned that he was able to slough off stereotyped ideas, which he had while developing adult online games, through the E3 convention.
Cmnet is now ready to take the game to an upgraded version. Until now, the game was designed to be played by different sex types, but now Cmnet is working on an additional system for same sex lovers. Let’s watch the development of how sexual freedom will be expressed in the cyber world.
Cmnet has thoroughly completed the basic systems of the game and i s contacting game publishers for the international market

Usually I wouldn't post a straight press release about a game, but the fact that they made a point to feature same sex relations in the game makes me feel like it's worth it to give it a little extra press.
If you're interested in movies of the game, you can check them out at the OnGate E3. There's also some (non-adult, blah) in-game pictures linked below.

Short Documentary Film on ASFR
Short Documentary Film on Robot Fetishists (Quicktime, around 6 minutes long)
People are working from multiple directions to combine sex and technology. Slashdong deals with making connections between people simple, understandable, and affordable. There are others that are more interested in adding technology through robots and dolls as a fetish. Each piece brings a new piece to the puzzle of getting off using our technological discoveries.
This video gives a short overview of robotics fetishists, or ASFR (alt.sex.fetish.robots, currently the only fetish I know of usually refered to by it's newsgroup, showing just how hardcore geek this fetish really is. :) ). It's educational and non-biased, a very good piece that gives you an idea of what's going on in the world of ASFR.
I plan on doing a feature on ASFR at a later date, but if you're interested in checking out more info on it now, take a look at FemBotCentral or MaleBots.
Movie via Shouting To Hear the Echos. Found it through Technorati. Yay Technorati!

Guy Game officially banned, moves to video distribution
Guy Game officially banned, moves to video distribution
Remember The Guy Game? Unfortunatly, we do. It was a rather stupid quiz/party game for PS2/Xbox that showed varying levels of boobage if you got a question right or wrong. Well, unfortunatly some of that boobage wasn't exactly old enough to be for sale on video, and the resulting lawsuit has now come out in favor of the children. So, no more Guy Game.
However, not to be detered from making tons and tons of sweet, sweet cash off the nakedness of idiotic college girls, the producers of the game are now releasing all of the game footage on a DVD. So, for only $20, you can watch stupid whores give scripted answers easy trivia questions, and then flash their boobs (which is apparently a valid replacement for lack of common knowledge).
Or you could just buy some real porn. Unless you're into that whole "badly played trivia" fetish thing.

Very Strange Sims
All of my experiences with the Sims are as follows:
- Race to see how fast I could make Lesbians.
- Use the money cheat to give myself infinite cash and use the program as a Architecture/CAD design workbench. It's honestly a good way to lay out your house!
Apparently, some people want the game to resemble an Aphex Twin video, though. For these crazy, scary people, there is Very Strange Sims. This site features weird Sims meshes and skins, as well as furniture that's on the rather... invasive side of things.

ESRB to investigate GTA Sex Minigame
ESRB to investigate GTA Sex Minigame
Going through a city with automatic weapons in both hands mowing down as many innocent bistanders as possible? Awesome! Running around in a gimp suit beating people to death with a huge double-ended purple dildo? Great! Having sex with your girlfriend? OH MY GOD NO. SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
The GTA Sex Game that we covered earlier has now made it all the way to the level where government officials can make rush judgements about it and the media can run wild with it. The ESRB is now "looking into" the fact that the minigame weren't even accessable without hand modding the code to the fucking game. If they have to check every game for things like this, they better be ready to hire some assembly gurus or else require release to all the source to every game written.
But at least we can still shoot at each other with no problems.

The Better Built Bondage Book
AND WE'RE BACK! Moving is done, and I'm never, ever doing that again. At least, not until our lease is up here. Stupid leases.
Anyways, we've got a ton of stuff to cover, so expect a ton of posts in the next few days. First up is the Better Build Bondage Book. This is a guidebook on how to build all sorts of bondage equipment, from cuffs to vacuum beds to R/C vibrators! The book runs around $40US, but looks to be very high quality, with explanations of the theory behind building the equipment as well as full instructions for everything. Just imagine walking through Home Depot with this as your shopping list.

I'm not dead, I swear!
So I've missed a full week of wonderfully silly news thanks to moving, but we're still here! I should be updating the page again in a couple of days (I don't get internet at the new place until Saturday. Raar!), so don't fear, you'll have your pervy tech news soon enough. :)
