Engineering:RealTouch

From HandWiki

The RealTouch was a first of a kind teledildonic male sexual stimulation device consisting of a sleeve fitted with "belts, jets, heating elements and other gadgetry" that fits over the penis and synchronizes sensations to a specially produced online video.[1] It was created by AEBN in 2008. Representatives for the company demonstrated the device at the 2009 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas and it was released in November 2009.[2][3][4]

AEBN also produced a dildo with a capacitive touch sensor; the JoyStick. With these two products, it sought to offer access to interactive remote teledildonic services over the Internet through its RealTouch Interactive division.[5][6]

Marketing the RealTouch had significant patent licensing costs.[7] AEBN withdrew from the market in 2015 when it could no longer sustain the cost of producing the product.[5]
