quote [ Adult Haptics Ecosystem with Kyle Machulis, better known as qDot, founder and CEO of Nonpolynomail.
Fantastic conversation spanning from the tremendous growth of the adult haptics ecosystem, the challenges of defining your target technology map, and the impacts of remote agency on your personal space. A must listen. ] This is the guy from Buttplug.io, I've posted about a few times. Great watch. Sadly, my own recent development work with The Handy has found the API to be lacking the response time needed for fine control of remote teledildonics. Your partner can control stroke speed, but any sort of one to one movement (which you would want in VR control) just doesn't work yet. But I've got ideas.
For my mookies. ?

quote [ We've been rather busy in your absence, Mister Freeman. The wait is nearly over, and the Half-Life 2: VR public beta is launching in September. And yes, we do mean this year! :) ]
Honestly, can't remember if I played Half Life 2 or not, but definitely looking forward to this.

quote [ KAT Walk C 2 is now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! ]
I really, really want to play with one of these. But I'll probably just end up doing a cheap DIY one.?

quote [ Appearing like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, this giant humanoid robot can lift up special equipment and carry out maintenance work on out-of-reach railway contact lines in Japan. ]
Lol pretty sure I mentioned a setup like this a few years ago while talking about how VR is going to advance automation through training neural networks.
Also I wish America was a real country with an up to date rail infrastructure. ?

I have no words about this form of escapism.

quote [ Hi. In today's episode, we explore vast new digital worlds! An ever-expanding landscape of virtual delights and innovations! That you have to pay for with a hideous illustration of a monkey! ]
He's got some good takes, probably a bit more optimistic about the future than I am though

quote [ What if you could feel actual PAIN in virtual reality? What if whatever game or simulation you were in allowed you to feel whatever was happening to you? Would you put yourself in pain just to heighten your immersion?
Today I am taking a look at two electrostimulation suits I tried, the hyper advanced and amazing Teslasuit and the newcomer on the block- OWO Skin. Two e-stim devices built to quite literally shock you, allowing your muscles to contract and pain to be felt through electrical pulses in the shirt/ suit. I'm honestly not sure if the world is ready for this, but it's coming anyways- and I'm so excited to see everyone's reactions. ] Kinda feeling like I need me an OWO.

quote [ Dream-hacking techniques can help us create, heal and have fun. They could also become tools of commercial manipulation. ]
Lol, this essay might as well be my arguments against Facebook buying Oculus years ago. Major parallels with the future of VR and Biometrics. Fun times ahead!

quote [ Hello! Today I challenge myself to run across the entire Skyrim map from bottom to top.. entirely in VR with an Omnidirectional Treadmill. Total distance is very approximately calculated to 13 miles, give or take a few, all in one go. This was one of the harder VR challenges I have done, especially because of the nature of a Katwalk C. The real question is, what breaks first? Me or the Omnidirectional treadmill? ]
I would very much like to try one of these.
