As we now know, what was touted as Japan's first adult virtual reality was so popular (and disorganized) earlier this month that it had to be closed down.
We were one of the many unlucky souls lining up outside that summer day in Akiharara, hoping to get in and see what the future of sexuality might look like.
With the glories of the internet we were able to find some of the treats we missed.
And here is another.
Called Chroma Key AR, which uses a smartphone and augmented reality (AR) technology to combine a digital image of a girl that displays on the screen with a ...
As we know, virtual reality is big right now and that includes for the adult market.
This isn't from the recent Adult VR Festa but the geeks and tech event, Niconico Chokaigi 2016, held in April, but we were saving it until now.
Strictly speaking, we think this was developed for people who work in the care industry to experience what it is like to be incontinent, but there are also adult: this is a DIY virtual omorashi device!
No longer is your only option getting some rubber diapers. Instead, now you can feel like you are peeing yourself just by wearing some wires and sitting on ...
Tokyo Kinky was there on Sunday, loyally lining up in Akihabara for what had been touted as Japan's first ever adult virtual reality event. But all was in vain.
We had our suspicions about the event, given how shoddy the event's website was. Still, word had obvious got out -- that and how virtual reality is one of the big trends of the year and there had been promises of its adult implications for years.
There were hundreds of people trying to make it into a tiny venue in Akiba. We were all lining up patiently outside but the police eventually had to come and help control the size of ...
With the releases of Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR, there's been a lot of buzz recently about virtual reality.
And now people are finally starting to work on the best side of the technology: adult entertainment.
Japan's first adult virtual reality festival will be held on June 12th at popdojo in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Entry costs ¥3,000 (with photo ID). The event is open from 2pm to 6pm.
We have already been tempted by what Project Morpheus can offer in terms of virtual dating and SIMS, though an early preview sparked controversy and backlash.
We have since seen the ...
Okamoto continues its "Lovers Research Lab" with a third "project". Following the condom-maker's investigation into dinosaur sex and then the Zero One Belt condom-dispenser, Condo-Moody is a concept for an app that works in sync with a condom box.
Open the box and the app switches on (via Bluetooth). It then provides beautiful lighting to help set the mood during your lovemaking. Okamoto recommends you place the "communication tool" by your pillow.
This hilarious video shows an extreme version of a couple attracting the whole neighborhood with the lighting around their ...
Okamoto have done it again.
After teaching us that even humping dinosaurs want protection, the condom maker's latest fun marketing gimmick is a spring-loaded condom-dispenser belt. Yes, you did read that right.
The Zero One Belt uses voice recognition through a smartwatch-style wrist device to eject a 0.01 Zero One ultra-thin Okamoto condom (the world's thinnest condom). Say "Zero One" into the watch to command the belt. The belt then opens out and shoots the condom up into the air so you can catch it with a snazzy hand movement, showing your lover that you mean business.
Never ...
Imagine an app that could translate what you say accurately so you can communicate with hot girls from other countries?
Well, there are actually plenty of translation apps out there, not least Siri.
But wearable technology company LogBar claim their device ili is unique because it doesn't require an online connection, yet can still translate between English, Chinese and Japanese just by speaking into it.
They boast:
ili is the world's first wearable translator for travelers. Say goodbye to all language barriers.
And they marketed it by showing it in action with a gaijin ...
Japanese women take their bras and cup sizes so seriously they even wear bras designed to reduce their bust or special designer lingerie to bring out the best of their A-cup chest.
Smartphone app ChiChi helps you measure your bust when you leave your phone between your melons.
These are all vague claims at present: ChiChi is looking for "testers" ahead of a January release. So if you want to give it a try, apply on the app's official website.
Putting a phone between your breasts may sound like a new tech version of paizuri, but it's actually rumored to cause breast cancer, so ...
Japan's top sex dolls manufacturer Orient Industry, in another display of their constant inventiveness, has teamed up with make-up effects studio Jiro to create Rinka Kagurazaka Link a Doll.
Rinka Kagurazaka is, as fans will know, the oldest of the Kaguzarazaka sisters from the "Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni" video game series.
The Link A Doll has "wi-fi support" (to do what?) and can play Rinka's voice (though the mouth does not move), with a "Valkyrie body".
There are certain other features whose details are not listed on the website but are mentioned in the trailer below: ...
Every year lots of wacky and sometimes awesome tech gets showcased at CEATEC, the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, at Makuhari Messe.
This year we had laundry-folding robots, among other projects.
ROHM Semiconductor and Techmac presented the Tokimeki Sensor, which can apparently identify the exact moment someone falls in love.
Optical sensors are able to pinpoint the way you respond to someone to show that moment when you apparently change inside and think, THIS is the one for me.
Well, that sounds more like it means the spark of attraction than anything, but ...
