CamSoda, Abyss Creations, and Lovense team up for VIRP project. 

CamSoda Labs, the research and development branch of the well-known camming site Camsoda [NSFW], is at it again! The team has announced another project inspired by its imaginative approach to remote sex.

Virtual Intercourse with Real People (VIRP) is CamSoda’s new partnership with Abyss Creations, which plans to combine RealDoll high-end sex dolls, live cam models, and virtual reality to create a system that mimics sex with a cam performer in real time.

It will work like this: RealDolls will come enhanced with interactive genital support provided by Lovense and virtual reality integration. Cam viewers with VR headsets and a doll will be able to go CamSoda and select a cam model with an Internet-connected sex toy.

The idea is that you will be able to see the real model in virtual reality as well as (ahem) “interact” with her via your RealDoll’s built-in teledildonic hardware. So whatever erotic actions she makes, and whatever you do, are transmitted back and forth via sensations created by touch-feedback technology.

The RealDoll may also add an extra dimension of immersion—its silicone form creates the illusion that you are actually touching a cam model.

Currently, the VIRP project appears to be in the development stage.

Ultimate sex fantasies?

Of the project, CamSoda Vice President Darren Press said in a press release: “Essentially, users will be able to live out their ultimate sex fantasies, and quench their immediate desires, in an immersive sensory environment that allows them to have real sex with virtual partners.”

Mirroring this sentiment, RealDoll’s Matt McMullen also said: “With the rollout of VIRP, users will be able to enjoy their RealDoll in an immersive environment that hinges on reality, bringing together the industry’s cutting-edge technologies—RealDolls, teledildonics, virtual reality and camming.”

Playfully cutting edge

VIRP joins the ranks of other CamSoda projects. For example, a little over a year ago they announced OhRoma, a system to allow users to add smell to their VR experiences, and a year before that they said they were working on real-time holograms of their models. We’re looking forward to whether the VIRP project comes to fruition.

While it is likely that at least a few of their projects are just ways of garnering publicity, you still have to give CamSoda Labs kudos for creativity. This is especially true in the way they take existing technology—like teledildonics and VR—and combine them to create a truly intriguing and realistic sexual experience.

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex. Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.” Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian. As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2. M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise. Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex. If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro. M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
