CHARLOTTE, N.C.—AEBN has announced that RealTouch, a high-tech male personal pleasure device that combines a proprietary haptic device with specially encoded video to create an immersive experience for the user, is now available for purchase exclusively at RealTouch.com.
"Until now, people could only experience movies through two senses—sight and sound," AEBN CEO Scott Coffman said. "We've integrated the sense of touch to create a truly unique and engaging experience.
"The time has come for a product like RealTouch,” he added. “Adult toys are far more accepted in today's culture but primarily exist for women. You can find them in major drug and department store chains. We felt it was time to introduce a high-quality, high-technology product for men."
AEBN says that in addition to the device’s expected popularity with consumers, the system represents a potential antidote to pirated video and the glut of free content available online. "You can pirate the video but you can't pirate this experience," says Coffman.
The haptic technology, which the company says was developed for RealTouch by a former NASA affiliated engineer who had previously worked at the Human Perception Lab of California's Ames Research Center, is found in everything from space shuttle flight-simulators to touch-screen mobile phones.
Unlike prior game-changing technology advances—VHS, DVD, Internet VoD—which have been in the area of storage or transmission, the company stresses that the ergonomically designed RealTouch is experiential and takes users into a world of immersive entertainment that provides realistic and "hands-free" sexual simulation for men.
The system also is expected to be of interest to sex therapists and medical professionals for its potential in working with issues such as erectile dysfunction and physical rehabilitation.
The device only works with specifically encoded video available online in the RealTouch library, which features more than 400 popular adult video stars for both straight and gay consumers, and is encoded to provide lifelike, real-time action.
RealTouch has a retail price of $199.95, and is currently available online only at www.realtouch.com.
