Get Your Groove On - In SL - For Real

Ok, so there's this article over at Wired about games and do-it-yourself teledildonics. No mention of SL. And I didn't expect any. I do not know of any such projects or practices here in SL.

Well, that changed! The article mentions someone named Machulis, aka qDot, who runs Slashdong and is the creator of Sexbox, an Xbox mod (read the article for more details). Now, there is (was?) a qDot here in SL - qDot Bunnyhug. So I go over at Slashdong (NSFW). I search for "second life" and come up with this:


Freesex Network: Sex and Second Life, Version 1.0 by qDot Bunnyhug (most certainly NSFW)


In here, qDot describes how teledildonics can be implemented in SL. He provides an XML-RPC client, an LSL script to use with the in-world object, and drivers for his Sexbox. Scroll down to #5. That's where the tutorial really begins.

Interesting stuff, right?

But you still have the risk of sexually transmitted viruses.........?

Lews

hah, That made me laugh.

Heeee, thanks for the recognition. That project was actually the first thing I did in SL, think I had it finished within the first week of creating my account. It's in sore need of updating now, which I plan on doing once I get a more generalized board done.

If you're worried about an STD from teledildonic conferencing equipment, either don't share your plug, or use a condom.

Use a firewall or a condom... Just don't use a condom that's on fire.

Here's an outrageous thought: The metaverse will not arrive with HTML on a prim as some have claimed or with land sales being the #1 industry. I mean, the first thing that the word metaverse conjures is this idea of "jacking in" to another universe. Can't jack in, however, with just two of our senses. We need to start involving the other three as well. This is the holy grail, what separates the metaverse experience from any other ordinary online experience. It seems reasonable, therefore, to conclude that the metaverse will be here when we have initiated the process of involving the remaining three of our senses into the electronic experience. It will be here when the #1 industry in town is sex...LOTS of sex. Ok, guns too. But not land sales for sure (I mean, wth??). Therefore,

NEWSFLASH:

THE METAVERSE WILL NOT BE DELIVERED BY LINDEN LAB (THEY HAVE NOT STATED ANY INTENTION OF DEVELOPING SENSORY SYSTEMS)

THE METAVERSE WILL MOST LIKELY BE DELIVERED BY ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS

Damn skippy. And it's prolly gonna be me.

Sheesh, so much for a little comedy. Never mind.

Second Life - Now With SMELL-O-VISION!!!

I'm going to corner the avatar deoderant market!

Oh, and you should all lick your screen now. Right now, I mean it. You need to know what it tastes like WITHOUT the flavor-enhancing pixels so you can really appreciate the difference later...
