We're doing some really cool stuff with virtual and augmented reality right now actually, check out an article Vice did on us recently ( http motherboard.vice.com/blog/hackable-robot-assisted-virtual-sex-is-nigh ) and you can see an example of the Occulus Rift being used with our haptics. We're also working with augmented reality with glasses from AtheerLabs ( http atheerlabs.com ) and putting some stickers on the peripherals so that when you look down you see a CGI partner doing the business instead of the peripherals themselves, we've had early success overlaying recorded and live video as well!
Basically, for the price of a tablet computer (the sex robot itself is <200$ retail, the AR glasses or VR Occulus both targeted for <300$) you can have a full immersive and PHYSICAL virtual sex experience with AI/CGI partners, or REAL PEOPLE using the same setup in another state or country live. For the CGI our goal is for it to look something like this awesome music video: http vimeo.com/64378881.
The value proposition is increased when you realize all the peripherals can be used for many applications once you buy them, not just sex. We're doing some real exciting stuff, it's very sci fi around here.
