Thrixxx Kinect Video - Uncensored
Now that Thrixxx (the makers of the Virtually Jenna and 3D Sex Villa) have basically taken over the world of mainstream kinect news with their original kinect sex interface video, they’ve now put out a fully uncensored version of their interface, showing more gestures, including toy usage and insertion.
This now comes on top of the much reported news that Microsoft has said they will not condone adult content on the kinect, which absolutely no one is either surprised at or gives a shit about, but it’s giving the press another way to extend this story’s legs. The kinect cannot be used for commercial products, and none of us would ever expect a game this sexually explicit on a major console. However, the Primsesense Reference kit can be used for whatever the hell you want, and only costs $50 more.
This is a win for all parties involved. MS gets to champion the family friendliness of their console, Thrixxx keeps on getting press that now has one of the biggest software companies on Earth attached to it, and bloggers like me get to reuse the same content post after post after post.
Thanks to Adult Game Reviews for the heads up on the uncensored video. Go play their Sims-generated game, Simone, while you wait for Thrixxx to get their game out.
OpenKinect Talk Video from NerdNite SF
Nerd Nite SF: "OpenKinect: One Month In" - Kyle Machulis, 12/15/10 from nerdniteSF on Vimeo.
Here’s a video of me at Nerd Nite San Francisco, talking about the OpenKinect Project. This covers the history of the project, as well as some examples of what’s happening in the community. There’s a small portion on the Thrixxx games and other kinect sex topics. And unlike on my other blog, I don’t have to warn about cursing here! So yes, cursing! Lots of cursing!

Thrixxx, the makers of the Virtually Jenna and 3D Sex Villa series of doll pokin’ games, have released a video showing a gesture based interface to their game using the kinect.
Note that this is 10 full days before christmas, which was my deadline for when we’d see our first public usage of the kinect in porn.
If I have a fetish for anything, it’s being right.
UPDATE: Post updated with new working video.
UPDATE 2: Dunno why the kinect is interesting for adult stuff? Check out my presentation on OpenKinect and the kinect sensor.
UPDATE 3: Even more video updating. Youtube sure don’t like this video.
The Toy Returns - This Time on Android
The Toy Returns - This Time on Android
My god, they really, actually lived through the past 5 years. I first reported on The Toy 5 years ago, and at that point, no one could get the badly named bluetooth dildo controlable via SMS messages to work. I knew at least 4 people who had one, I’m not sure I ever found anyone who got it working on the old bluetooth interface. So, without a product ever reported working, they lasted through ‘til today, and have just released a new control application for Google’s Android Mobile Phone OS. This is now the second Android vibrator control app I’m aware of, dildroid being the other. It’s also yet another application that will never appear on your iPhone, due to the nature of the product and Apple’s App Store policies. Truly, Android is the OS choice for the pocket phone perv (Yes, google, that’s CC licensed text, so you can use it as a slogan).
The control application apparently allows you to hook into the SMS capabilites of whatever Android based phone you have, and send information to other people that own The Toy in order to control… their toy. Have I mentioned how much I hate the name of this product? The googlability is just next to impossible. Marketing is not the place to try and be a platonic ideal.
So, we’ll see if this ends up working out or not. I’m still surprised that they’ve lived this long with no good reports or reviews, and if they try bringing the word ‘bluedildonics’ into the fucking vocabulary of the internet again, I will be wishing them into an even speedier death next time. Seriously, it’s just a stupid word, people. Even more so than teledildonics. Bluedildonics sounds like some sort of technological necrophilia.

Teledildonics Patents in court. Again
Teledildonics patents in court. Again
In another case of probably the exact same things we’ve seen before, it looks like two companies are going at it again over teledildonics patent licensing. This time, Internet Services, the company that licensed some haptics/teledildonics patents (which itself has the patents licensed from Immersion, the haptics patent house) to the Real Touch is being sued by the people that apparently own the original teledildonics patents. Patent against patent war like this seemingly could hurt business for everyone involved (not that I’m a lawyer or anything), so who knows if we’ll see anything more than silence and settlements, but it’s always fun to see this bubble up in legal news just to watch the discussion threads.
