Relax. The Japanese economy has been saved. Engineers are here to rescue industry from the doldrums and produce the next step forward like the Walkman or the Hybrid car all those years ago.
Young engineers like this one.
Smart boffin Ryuto Soma joins a long line of other tech-savvy hentai geeks in Japan who use their technological skills for reasons of a masturbatory nature.
We’ve already had the Novint Falcon headset and Tenga combo and even a virtual sex system courtesy of the University of Tsukuba.
Ryuto Soma has come along and combined the Oculus Rift with a pair of breasts (well, one of those mouse pads with 3D chests) so you can grope the bust of a virtual character. And then he uploaded a video to NicoNico Douga for all the world to see him in action.
Yes, the Virtual Boobies Squeeze Simulator is even cruder than the Project Morpheus demo (which Ryuto even references in the intro to the video), though we can already hear legions of guys around Japan tutting and asking why they didn’t think of it first. Actually, they probably did. We highly doubt this is the first instance of the Oculus system being combined with a pair of breasts, given the popularity of bust mouse pads in Japan.
In the video Ryuto has some fun massaging the SIM’s breasts, though the girl on the screen gives a yelp each time and covers her chest with all the modesty otaku crave. Yes, in Japan the guys don’t fantasize about mutually enjoyable sex — only having their way with girls in spite of their protestations.
Ryuto will be demoing his wares at OcuFes, an Oculus event in Nagoya on September 14th. We predict a long queue to try it out.
