The Virtual Hole is a similar design to something we've seen before. When attached to a Mac Miniesque Virtual Module A/V pass-through (pictured below), the self-explanatory base unit can sync to specially encoded DVDs for a more...interactive experience. When hooked to a computer, that Virtual Module can connect a touch-sensitive dildo to the Hole over the internet.
I braved sticking my hand into the same sleeve you'll find inside the Hole. As a middle aged Japanese man massaged the attached dildo, I felt a slightly corresponding localized vibration up and down my palm. I know what you're thinking: Some guy I didn't even know was here massaging my hand in public—how awkward!

Well, it was awkward. But the fun doesn't stop there, friends.

I adorned a pair of active shutter glasses to watch a 3D video stream of the AVN show floor (not as sexy as it sounds - basically more middle aged dudes, many of them with mutton chops and sucked in beer bellies) while my hand was getting a half-assed once over. Boy oh boy is the future going to be awesome.

<![CDATA[Teledildonics: Virtual Hole and Stick a Small Step, Not Giant Leap]]> You're probably familiar with teledildonics, which for a long time have seemed to be far off in the future somewhere, but now we bring you the world premiere of the virtual vagina. Crudely named Virtual Hole ($200), this USB device has nine motors that are said to be able to simulate a real mouth, hands and "sensation of insertion."

On the other side, your teledildonic companion wields a Virtual Stick ($100) that's linked up to the Virtual Hole, and pressure and location sensors on the two devices are converted in real time and synchronized with each other. The festivities are enhanced with webcam images.

Check out some rough-looking diagrams of how this is supposed to work, along with closeups of the devices, not quite NSFW:

Resembling a bowling pin and some kind of cheap karaoke microphone, these thingamajigs don't look too realistic, but for some people we're thinking they're better than nothing.
