There is a device I know exists - it periodically, at random intervals, asks the subject avatar if it is paying attention, and the avatar must touch it in time.

It is useful with certain alternative lifestyle choices.....

Anyone know where to buy this thing?

That's a really easy script to write.

A timer using random intervals (a few minutes? hours?) sends a message saying 'touch' which then resets the timer - one fail and the object turns red or otherwise indicates failure.

We are talking 5 minutes of script writing here.

But why would anyone want such a thing? I'm truly mystified.

It is a thing to keep a submissive under control.

Camping devices use these things to make sure it's a human at the helm. Payroll devices use this to make sure that hosts are active and at the computer. There are a number of uses if you put your mind to it. Anything that requires assurance of a human presence at the keyboard can use it.

I tried that and found someone that was using a screen reading program to automatically take the action.

I even scripted it to change the order of the buttons, but it's hard to prevent some bots.

But who sells them, and where?! I can't script at all!
