Oculus Rift can also help you change sex

26 Jan 2014

When Oculus Rift finally becomes available to the general public and not just developers, there will be a flood of uses for the virtual reality headset other than just gaming. We have already written about its pornographic possibilities, but there is potential for more scientific and artistic uses too.
One experiment by Spanish group BeAnotherLab uses a Creative Commons technology called The Machine in order to discover what it would be like to swap genders entirely.
Using Oculus Rift headsets, male and female volunteers ape each other's actions to effectively gain the impression of what it would be like to have the body of a person of the opposite sex. The project could also work with people of a the same sex, as each body is different so would still provide an interesting experience, but with gender swapping, there are many foreign elements to explore in first person.

Wow. This reminds me of the 1995 movie: 'Strange Days' with Ralph Fiennes, Angela Basset and Juliette Lewis. It was a total Mind Fuck, my type of movie.

No, they are meant to mimic 3D vision by using 2 screens one for each eye to do a virtual reality type set up.

Then I want to be a man I would want to stand and urinate!!! Anywhere easy peasy..., I will want to walk around topless without causing a riot!!!!! Own just 2 pairs of jeans and one dress pants. Own just one leather JACKET and one good jacket. I can walk comfortably in the most comfortable shoes EVER!!!! I would not have to worry about HAIR all over!!!!!

Lol @PiB, it's only a swap in terms of vision. Still seems like you would have plenty of fun during your swap silly

I have been pondering something for about a year now. I am always open to possibilities and business idea's. So I thought of something and kept it quiet, but it's probably never going to happen so here it is... Many grown men play video games. Xbox, playstation, PC, etc. Imagine an add on device for a playstation console or PC that simulates a female (or rather her bits). A game to accompany this device, a porn game. You have to shag this device (for real) like crazy to get the cyber girl on the game to orgasm. The man gets pleasure while also attempting to beat the game. I know some of you think "what a sicko"... Bit think about it. People like sex toys, all men masturbate, most men like games... Something like that could very well be a big success... Guitar hero, dj hero, itoy, etc. All very popular because of the interactive game play. Sex games for adults on consoles... I am a effing genius!!! He he he..
