Review: The Handy

quote [ The company behind The Handy claims that this is the ultimate handjob machine. Is it really? Come and see for yourself. ]

Nice to see more toys for males being produced. I'm gonna get one of these to try eventually. Probably when I'm back on the road and have privacy again. I've got a couple friends that want to try doing things remotely and I definitely want to see how the link feels between visuals in VR and the feel of being stroked. Plus there's an API and I definitely wanna try making a VR game that uses it. All about experimenting with those haptics. :D

The handy isn't supported by pornhub yet, but there's a number of them that are and it's probably just a matter of time before someone figures out a way to adapt them

I can totally see someone making a fully articulated robot hand that can be controlled remotely. The controller might be a glove full of sensors or it might be visual tracking like Kinect. At this point, it's inevitable.

Tracking hands is the easy part, we've got most of the tech.

It's that articulation of a robot hand where you're gonna rack up the dollar signs. Basically a super expensive prosthesis. When I was staying at my friend's place we were discussing building a cheap 6 axis robot arm mounted to a wall above my bed because I realized that you don't necessarily need to "track" something like that in VR like you would normal controllers. If you know the angles of the axises (axii?) you can just use reverse kinematics to calculate its movement. So there's definitely shortcuts we're gonna see before we get to that point, but it's fascinating how we're progressing so far.

Personally, I think within 10 years we're gonna have generic looking animatronic real dolls, that in VR will be able to look like anyone you want. They're not gonna be super impressive on the outside, but they'll be able to move around into different positions and push back just enough to let the heavy lifting of VR break through your doubts.

I prefer to receive artisan handjobs using locally sourced lube from men with long beards.

And that is totally understandable. But also, Covid.
