Mind-Controlled Vibrators
filed under: Do It for Science by Melissa Gira
Hitachi, makers of the oft-adored “Cadillac of Vibrators” (pictured, and available for home delivery today), the Magic Wand, tease the ever-loving fuck out of the collective sex toy watching world by unveiling a technology that allows one to turn devices on and off with one’s mind.
There’s a bit of vibrator urban myth that goes like this: every few years, there’s a major panicked retail run on the Hitachi Magic Wand (full disclosure: this isn’t product placement, kids, I just happen to have been actually sexually hacked by this thing), as a result of a vague rumor that the folks at Hitachi, who have such a loyal following that they don’t even need to put photos of smiling women on the boxes, are about to pull the product. Stories swirl about of secret stockpiles of the Hitachis in Japan that will surely go for hundreds, thousands even, once Hitachi, literally, pulls the plug.
So it’s not a tremendous shock that the company that brought us the Magic Wand (and, other useful things, too, I’m sure) isn’t going to market this new tech with any overtly smutty leanings. Us fans, of course, already have a mean case of the wheels turning over the possibilities for using our brainwaves for powering orgasms.
(Which, arguably, we’re already doing. But how hot is that CAT scan?)
Hitachi promises a consumer model available by 2011.
