They need a smarter chimpanzee to design their website.



I'm not sure how well it works in practice, but it's a neat idea for couples who are often apart. Not sure how well it would work in, uh, commercial applications.

The best part is that its minimalist design allows it to be openly displayed at home. lol

 

[lordmagellan]

If they're with the names Zeus and Hera, they better be able to link up to multiple devices; like the gods, themselves, were prone to do. Those two, especially.

I can't wait to see all the hook up sites start sprouting up online. I think taking a girl private is going to be a tad bit more expensive in the future.

It could be cool for long distance relationships. It might catch on on camsites but I would guess (and could well be wrong) that a lot of models might deem it a step too far. It's not something that really appeals to me personally but it's a cool piece of technology.

Is it though? Models are embracing the Real Touch.

The only difference I see with this, is that it's a remote controlled fucking machine on her end that mimics his movements. This is not a huge step away from the remote controlled fucking machine (shockspot) that I use - and a much cheaper and more tactile experience.

to me the design looks really boring - the HERA seems boring... small and only one motion, and I'm not a guy but would air pumping into little balloons really feel like her pussy squeezing you? Not sure.

And what happens when you're out of sync and He's thrusting in and she pulls it out?

I might well be wrong but I'd imagine the main differences between this and Real Touch (as I understand it) is that the Real Touch is essentially one-way interation. The dood feels like he's being fucked or sucked or jerked off or whatever while he's looking at a sexy lady doing things to a phallic object on his computer screen. The woman meanwhile is just playing with something that looks like a dildo. It's easy (I would imagine) for her to look past the fact that the guy on the other end of that dildo might be someone that she would never, ever jerk off or fuck in real life.
But with this, the interaction is a two-way street. The customer "feels" the model around his cock and the model "feels" the member thrusting inside her. I think that second part might be enough to put some models off. But again, this is purely conjecture on my part.

 

[dustinxxxizzle]

It's cool and all, but for selfish reasons I want something closer to the Real Touch. As Bob said, the Real Touch joystick is way more advanced for the guy in that it allows you to feel more than just suction or whatever. I'll just never be able to support such a closed platform, though, which is why I'm happy to see LovePalz pop up. I just hope they continue to innovate it.

 

[Sevrin]

The problem with both Real Touch and Love Palz is that you are tied to a service provider, no pun intended. Kind of like with iPhones. What if you'd sunk your dough into a Love Palz device, and the hot model you want to interface with has a Real Touch? That's like the problems we used to have between Macs and PCs.

I would be surprised if there were not other devices in the pipeline, as well. Until there is an open protocol that allows people to mix and match devices with equivalent, if not identical functionality, I think this will be very slow to catch on with camsite pervs.

....... the guy on the other end of that dildo might be someone that she would never, ever jerk off or fuck in real life.

I know a lot of models that would avoid this type of toy simply for that mental image... It's one thing to have a screen and cam, but when you get into the tactile aspects or less than desirable guys, you open up the tangled box thats heading toward more of a 'streetwalker' mentality....

 

[lordmagellan]

I wonder if this would help the bi-curious guys out there. A bit of a try before you bi option.

Also, what would it mean for couples where watching porn and even cam girls is okay? Would this be crossing a line because it's too intimate? "I never touched her, I swear!!"

I'm seeing brothels with full on V-R set-ups wherein a guy pays, gets jacked in, and has an experience with a prerecorded girl of his choosing. And ladies, too; just, you know, the opposite. But then, I guess that would just add to the unemployment numbers...

And will they design something for the lesbians? Like a robotic hand or even a face with moistened tongue. Why aren't the Japanese all over this already?!

I'm seeing brothels

Virtual brothels would be pretty interesting but instead of pre-recorded shows, how about the option of live models behind glass or something, but I wonder if it could get around the prostitution laws even though it isn't actual skin-on-skin contact.

For instance, a live cam show private set up where the John and model are separated by glass but could hear and see one another (or the John could choose one-way glass for privacy). By using the Hera and Zeus concept, they could essentially be mounted directly against one another on each side of the glass to work as a virtual glory hole that could allow for all sorts of up close positions without any actual contact.

It would be a safe alternative to prostitution and could be used as a working studio to camsites if site members owned a Zeus device as well, but I feel like it would be considered prostitution due to the exchange of sexual acts for money since it's more in person than a camsite.

 

[Jessi]

Speaking personally: I treat camming more like personal interaction-meets-solo-porn. I don't take privates or turn on member cams, so making it physical would be totally unappealing to me.

I think some models who would like the Real Touch might find this different because its a two-way interaction. Rather than just jerking off or blowing the realtouch joystick, actually letting someone be an active participant in virtually fucking them may not be appealing to a lot of models.

I feel like this sort of thing could feel like too much work to set up and stuff, and many members probably wouldn't want to go through the cost and effort to use it. If they were willing to invest in the toy, wait for it to arrive, and had a model who was willing to do the same...Just seems like a lot of waiting and cost to have mediocre sex with someone who isn't there and you can't touch. The way the female toy is shaped looks really boring for penetration, so Im guessing its mostly a vibrator the other person controls? That seems frustrating.

It makes more sense for couples, but I kinda doubt it feels all that great from what Ive seen. Seems like a fun novelty to try out, but not much more than that.

 

[camstory]

I don't find the design to be very aesthetically pleasing at all, though I suppose if you want something you can carry in your purse with out grabbing attention, I guess it works. But pretty, or pleasing, I going with, No.

I think they need to get another writer. ("Know how good it does")? really? I was expecting to be taken to a different page with the headline "It's all good"
And
("In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, it also comes with a metallic silver top to help ensure hygiene.") Well metallic can mean anything from a cow patty that appears to be metal, To being something that is actual part or all metal. And is the colour silver more hygienic than lets say gold, or green? The fact that the top looks metal, and is silver does nothing to ensure hygiene. Unless you go with the idea that a metallic looking surface shows greasy smudges better, OK, but is keeping the outside clean doing anything about hygiene? If so, you could say the same about a little draw string bag, because it gets rid of the smudges to, by hiding them. Neither does anything to make it more hygienic.
And
("Through interactive means a real-time simulation, lovers can sense each other’s most subtle reactions as if they were physically together.")Is just wrong, 'Through interactive means and real-time simulation...', works, or remove, 'interactive means' or 'a real-time simulation' and it works, but as is, even if technically allowable, (which I am not sure it is), it just does not work for me. There are other bits that seem like they could have, and should have been written better.

As far as the idea, - I think it is of the future big time. If I had the $, I would invest in both the Real Touch, and Love pals, and put them new and unopened in a trunk somewhere for 30 years. You know what a new unopened first gen. gaming system is going for?

 

[LilianaXO]

I like the idea, but I'm not interested in using it for camming.

It'd be cool if they made the penis and vagina realistic. Even more so if they could change slightly in shape/size depending on who is using the devices! Like if the male had a 6" long, 1 1/2" circumference penis with a slight curve to the left, the toy the female was using would change to match.

Not sure if that makes sense, I can't English today.

 

[southsamurai]

ya know, im just not sure about it. yeah it could be fun. it would certainly make net based interactions more... interactive. but if im being honest here the idea of using one myself sort of skeeves me out. if im going to spank it im going to spank it, even if im going to use a toy of some kind (which i dont really like) i would rather just handle things (pun intended)

it would feel worse than skypeing or whatever in the terms of disconnection and loneliness. if i cant have real human intimacy with someone i would prefer to have it with myself at least. hooking up to a machine and doing it cooperatively just feels hollow for me. yeah yeah, i know, sometimes its about getting the nut and enjoying sensations, but again, i can do that alone and at least there is some self love and comfort there.

meh maybe im weird

I agree with this, but then I think of all the trouble some go through to find a model's personal info. People be fucking crazy!

I thought of that, but the idea behind the pre-recordings is that models/actresses only get a one time fee (unless they get a good contract with royalties). With a live model, she'd (or he) have to get paid per session.

Yeah, I mean it would be cheaper to just have a pre-recorded virtual brothel, but a virtual brothel that employed or contracted live models could take a steep percentage much like Streamate.

Not sure how much someone would pay for it something like that if it would even get be desired, but since most girls on Streamate charge around $3.99ish per minute give or take, say a in-person virtual brothel private with masturbatory device at minimum $4.99 per minute. At that, a 15 minute session would be $74.85, if it was a 65%/35% cut like SM in the brothel's favor, the model would still get $26.20 and the brothel would get $48.65. They could have the option to purchase a DVD of the video at the end and to tip the model if they wished.

I mean, they'd have to have some heavy traffic to make it worth it, but it could work like a legit massage spa--usually they charge $60 - $80+ per hour massage but the massage therapist only gets $12 - $22 per hour usually depending where they work. If no clients are scheduled that day, then the spa or clinic doesn't have to pay them for not working even at walk-in clinics they ask that the therapists stay in the break room or in walking distance if a walk-in shows up.

But even if they only get five 15-minute walk-ins per day, the virtual brothel would still make $243.25 or over $6800 a month after the models are paid out their percentages. I mean, they'd need a lot more business than that to appeal to girls or guys to work there as models, but if the traffic was good then it could work.

It could also offer pre-recorded side-by-side for cheaper and for purchase. Hm, I wonder if that could be legal and if so, would paying to watch two models have sex together behind glass be legal as well? Because pornography is legal... I'd totally go to one of those places if I could pay to pick out two pretty models and watch them have sex for me. Especially if I had a penis and could interact. But that's just me. Especially if they had male models.

Just my thoughts on it, not sure if that could ever work in practice considering there are escort services out there that are just as legal.

I agree. It just doesn't do anything for me. While the idea may be great the hardware is not appealing. All I keep thinking is MEH.

It could be cool for long distance relationships. It might catch on on camsites but I would guess (and could well be wrong) that a lot of models might deem it a step too far. It's not something that really appeals to me personally but it's a cool piece of technology.

I'd have to see or maybe feel it in action before I make a final judgement. It does remind of reading some interviews with phone sex operator in the late 90s when cams first started getting popular. Many of the woman said they'd be very uncomfortable having guys see them (and this was not even naked). Times change and so does technology and attitudes.
