Well, internet surfers, it’s finally happened. You can now really reach out and touch someone. The cool people at Chinese University have created a robotic hand that will afford you the sense of touch as you surf.
Sensors placed on your arm will imitate your hand movements and the strength of your touch for the party on the other end who will also be sporting one. The inventors say users will now beable to “touch” distant relatives, social media dorks will be able to shake hands and flash each other peace signs and the one finger salute (yay!), and physical therapists may soon have the ability to assess the strength and range of movement of their patients from afar.
Of course, we know what it will really be used for, don’t we? That’s right- porn! No longer will you be encumbered by having to pleasure yourself. No, now someone else can do it for you through the wonder of technology!
A whole new internet industary, the concept being think that two strangers armed with robotic hands can take Chatroulette to a whole new level of anonymous, lewd entertainment.
The robotic hands, which will be upgraded with a soft, human skin-like outer shell, are expected to be available in some stores by Christmas and, at a cost of US$ 100, it will be within the budget of just about anyone. No word yet on whether there will be soft, delicate hands and rough, calloused hands to choose from. Of course, if you use yours enough it’s likely to become calloused anyway. You may also develop hairy palms..
