I swear, you can’t make this stuff up. A pair of companies is working on devices that will allow users to create a motion-capture (mocap) interface at home, adding realism to their online sexual playtime. One company, Strokerz Toyz, is developing a wireless mocap suit while another group is working on a 3-D camera that will track body movements and translate it into avatar controls in Second Life. Whoa!



These new technologies won’t instantly set off the "ZOMG it’s sex!" media alarms the way Bluetooth-to-sex-toy interfaces do. These developers can position themselves as facilitators of dancing and flying and walking around, creators of new input devices rather than instigators of a whole new level of cybersex.
