Sex toy companies offer vibrators not only with wired remote control, but wireless and finally Bluetooth connectivity. If your partner has the toy inserted and the proper smart phone app installed you can dial up and start him/her buzzing from anywhere in the world. Could make that next meeting a bit less boring although somewhat surprising. The best ones are quiet also so they are the only one aware of it. Plus, the vibration can be synced to any song. No link, but Googling the title brings up all sorts of them.
This one is awesome!
I sure hope that they are careful! I’ve heard that even the smallest bit of grit accidentally placed alongside the unit can cause sincere agony.
Be careful. The Register printed a report from a company that tore one of these things apart. It was quite insecure - the admin password was encoded in the firmware, for instance. Thus, it was east to hack. I’ll leave the consequences to the imagination of the reader.
BTW, for a paper in a course on microprocessors at the University of Illinois in early 1977 I proposed one of these things. (Not internet enabled, of course.) So I kind of feel like Arthur C. Clarke and synchronous orbits for communications satellites.
I got an A. I should have applied for a patent.
In some cases the consequences can be truly alarming:
I wonder what would happen if you played it the 1812 overture or the Rite of Spring?
That puts a lively spin on Name That Tune.
I was imaging the expression on someone’s face to Flight of the Bumblebee, but those work too.
The more advanced forms of this technology combine all the above with virtual reality devices. The field is called Teledildonics (Wikipedia page).
It says here the concept, and the word, have been around since 1975.
So if a hacker hacks into a device. And the user thinks it’s their SO, what’s the crime? Sexual assault?
Seeing as basically everyone has their phone on or near them at all times, I’m not really sure why these devices need to actually have direct Internet access. Why not have the phone handle the actual connection, using an app and the security features built into said phone? There’s no need for the device itself to run the server.
I believe it’s for couples that have to be apart a lot bc of their jobs that require them to travel.
Heh! That is truly funny.
It would be a weenie dog named ‘Doxie’
If the device is using bluetooth, then the connectivity must be through a phone app. Bluetooth is too short-ranged for anything else.
