Of course, none of the above should really be a surprise but they still caught me off-guard.
- frixionme 13y agoPossibilities really open up with the telemetry translation api -- realizing that the telemetry is digital, and only has to be encoded once to be read for any purpose for any supported device is huge. We expect to be very busy for a long time fleshing out all the applications we have in mind. One that we're working on is using a users webcam to monitor heart rate (similar to the xbox one + kinect) and use that information to create a soft vibration that pulses in their partners device in time, so when one gets "excited" the other can feel the haptic feedback and vice versa simultaneously.. This is some real scifi stuff we're doing and it's very exciting
- durty 13y agoUpvote for "fleshing out". Very interesting ideas. I can only imagine how far this concept can be taken.
- milin 13y agoThis is the future. I hope this would be a platform where developers could use the API and create more sci fi stuffs. Also, where can i hack on this api?
- telecuda 13y agoHave you talked through what the company will do once developers start creating FriXion experiences with virtual children? Are you taking a hands-off approach (no pun intended) to what people do with the technology, or do you plan on vetting each application? If presented with an abuse scenario, would you cooperate with law enforcement to find who is "connecting" with (or creating) these children? I'm not knocking the tech or your intention to make a fun product - just throwing out some important questions.
- frixionme 13y agoFriXion complies with all lawful requests and makes a pro-active effort to review and respond to all reports of policy violations. While we're not responsible for what people get up to with robots on their own time (who cares if a highschool kid uses it to masturbate alone in his room with the internet off), using our platform to break the law is never ok.
- nsxwolf 13y agoSo Justin Bieber could have sex with all his Twitter followers simultaneously. Fascinating.
- notahacker 13y agoI'm horrified by the possibility, perhaps even a near-certainty, that there probably is fanfic on the internet somewhere outlining how this might happen and what the experience would be like.
- lifeisstillgood 13y agowow - that's really possible ... it simply had never crossed my mind but like a catflap - once the idea is explained it stays in.
- pekk 13y agoit makes no difference if it is Justin Bieber or if they send out a signal and tell you it is Justin Bieber, or if you just turn on the machine and think of Justin Bieber. There's really nothing social to this particularly.
- nsxwolf 13y agoI'm imagining Bieber standing in front of a giant wall of monitors on a huge video conference with thousands of followers. It would be real time and his actions would obviously originate from him. (Why am I imagining this?!)
- frixionme 13y agohaha this is great, the banter around here has been about how this could help fundamentalist mormons be able to have sex with all of their wives in their various houses at the same time. For publicity it would be great to have popular stars like James Deen using the robots to reach out to hundreds/thousands of his fans, or even shoot it in the same room -- have a line up of partners that he can interact with all simultaneously. It works the other way too, a woman could please many men at the same time -- imagine an escort able to line up one hundred 50$ handjobs for the same Wednesday afternoon and she's done working for the month.
