DENVER—After breaking into the world of vibrators and bionic strap-ons, the Orgasmatronics team has a new product designed to make science even sexier: The Master Beta Kit, an Arduino-based educational project that provides users with everything they need to “hack” their own sex toy.
The Master Beta Kit provides a no-experience-needed, no-soldering-needed, easy introduction to using an Arduino to control vibrators and other sex toys, allowing users to create their own custom vibration patterns, and tailor toys to their own needs. But the potential goes beyond sex toys. The Master Beta Kit provides the tools and opportunity to work on a variety of basic programming endeavors. It’s STEM education disguised as a sex toy.
As more and more Arduino-based toys enter the market, the Master Beta Kit is even more essential for the savvy erotic explorer.
“Companies sell this as a feature because Arduino is easy to program,” said Master Beta Creator Doctor X. Treme. “But many of the people who know almost enough to make use of this still have not taken the plunge to learn how to do anything with Arduino because it’s complex and they don’t know where to start.”
With the Master Beta Kit’s easy instructions, any programmable sex toy is suddenly at your command.
The Master Beta Kit was developed by a former quantum physicist who is known by his pseudonym Doctor X. Treme. His resume includes a Ph.D. in applied physics from Yale, a math/physics double degree from Berkeley, the development of several technologies from concept to application in the quantum electronics field, and managing science research projects for the federal government. In 2012, he left government science to co-found Orgasmatronics and crowdfunded his invention, the Ambrosia Vibe bionic strap-on, in 2014.
His latest invention, the Master Beta Kit will be available through a special Indiegogo campaign that launched April 13. In addition to the Master Beta Kit, backed will also receive access to special perks from Bad Dragon, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Jiz Lee and many more.
Want an early peek at the Master Beta Kit in action? This spring, Doctor X. Treme will teach sex toy hacking classes at venues around the country, including New York City’s ThoughtWorks and NYC Resistor.
