 | | Dominic Choy of Cammeray, New South Wales is in the process of creating a life-sized sex doll, complete with imitation skin, that is fully controlled over a computer system, the U.K.-based New Scientist magazine reported in its Jan. 20 issue. |
 | | Using signals from the Internet as well as sound and touch sensors, the apparatus would allow a user wearing a virtual reality headset to have virtual sex with someone in another part of the world also online or with a person of the user's imagination, such as a celebrity, the patent backgrounder suggests. |
 | | The doll itself will be essentially passive, but certain key body parts would be motor driven, the patent says. |
