Damnit, Starkey, we were promised nudity and we want it NOW!

that's interesting. although it's a few steps short of hooking up a few billion vr-equipped individuals connected to a huge vr grid made by machines to use humans as energy sources and programs inhibit their bodies and minds... 😗 ..........i am talking about nsa... 😛

Puts a whole new meaning in walking in someone else's shoes....

The phrase "If I were you..." will have a different meaning in a few years...

How many nights I spent wondering if my girl could feel the same way I do - in my pants. Now we are closer to this possibility more than ever! (not really)(I have no girl)

Well, you knew what anyman would do if he had a woman's body , sure enough play with his boobs, and the video didn't disappoint.And of course, the first thing a woman would do if she had a d..k, yup you guessed it, look at it!!! And that's exactly what happened.The moral of story, human beings just look for really complcTed ways to have sex!!!

Uhh they lost me at 'queer theory' ... HUH?

 

[Huskynine]

So do they actually feel the feeling of eachother? Like can I feel how soft/smooth another person's skin is? Or do they just see?

 

[smeezekitty]

That's a little creepy if you ask me.

Traciatim, but not as cool as a SQUID where you can feel it too, but was my 1st thought as well. Well played.

Cool.. now stop playing around and give us VR gloves, VR jacket, and sensory feedback.This, with proper Kinect intervention and the graphics quality of modern virtual environments can be done with imaginary bodies responding way faster than the 'set of agreed movements'. Including breathing to add in to the overall feeling.

Someone get that girl some damn food!
