The wonders of Japanese ingenuity in the field of robotics once again do not fail to impress – this time with a machine for simulating hugging by use of haptic feedback, dubbed “Sense-Roid,” which also allows the user to hug themselves in real-time by embracing a mannequin.
The demonstration video supplies all the information anyone could want about this marvel of the modern age:
In this case the demonstration involves groping a mannequin which then mirrors the sensation into the haptic vest, but much of the technology’s purported utility comes from it being possible to deliver virtual hugs or possibly even massages.
Some have speculated about the potential of the device for use in virtual dating and adult gaming, but it seems likely most players will have rather more penetrating concerns in this area.

Otaku so ronery T_T
You think you're ronery? Few weeks back I paid a girl $10 to hug me for 5 minutes
;_;
What part of you was she hugging and with what?
I lol'd seriously.
second lol
uh?
the trend of "free hugs"?
here in Mexico in every comic/anime/videogame convention, exposition, or even just randomly on the street, every age,lolis included.
maybe its just our culture, but huging and cheek kissing its a standart "hello, how are you?"
again, lolis included.
Don't forget, in Japan, love is punished.
in the lands of my people you greet with a kiss on the cheek or if its someone you dont know or a formal meeting then you use a hand shake
In my country, you greet everyone with a hug and a kiss
I don't see whats wrong with hugging and kissing people that you know as an "Hello there!". Atleast in my country it is considered an insult to refuse or hug other people. And believe me all the lolis i kissed and hugged made me sick of them. Not because they were ugly... just because I had to get on my knees to reach their cheeks.
Yeah don't remember me about that ¬_¬u
You know, people on the PRI also hugs & all instead of a simple hand salute
Stay where You are. I'm contacting local department...they will arrive at Your place shortly for a chat :3
daww
i'd hug you for free
I'd hug you, but I'd get arrested :(
Calla mexicano puto, jajajajajaja botaron como a 8 de tu selección para la copa america porque ustedes son una sarta de pendejos, jajajajajajajajajaja....
Why don't you save & get full service, Butters?
Very affordable for such a rare feeling.
In which country can you do that ?
What? Is it illegal in your country to pay for a HUG? Is it considered prostitution or something!?
No, but nobody in his right mind would talk to a random woman in the street to tell her "take my money and hug me", there must be some kind of culturally accepted hug traffic that we don't have in my country.
i'm lonely too and don't give a fuck about it. Living my life as i want to and spending my money on what it want to(usually figures and games)!
For some reason I can see Alice Margitriod demanding that Nitori make her one of these that looks like Marisa.
Dear Japan,
Please incorperate this technology into dakimakuras.
P.S. While you're at it, replace the zippers with Velcro.
i dont get it, why Velcro?
so it won't nick the foreskin
Just go to Eiffel Tower and get a free hug. There's also some french loli will offer a free hug too if you lucky enough.
Velcro dont scrape
i think the real use for this tecnology is the capacity to send a hug far away... for example, you are talking with a relative or your girlfriend for internet, and with the jacket, you can send a real "Hug", or even a massage... this is not only for the confort of "Forever Alone's"
I don't want a creepy virtual hug from a person as much as I don't want a stupid virtual poke from them.
Miyazaki is right, technology is destroying social interaction in everybody, not just creepy otaku. Keep masturbating on your ipad bro.
I liked Miyazaki before his creepy/snarky masturbation comment.. Can't erase that creepy comment even if he tried.
Seriously? Using any stylus and motions is 'masturbatory'? Sounds like grandpa!
just another old man thinking everything was better back in the days.
nothing exceptional
oh."creepy/snarky masturbation comment"
Where did it stated that
It makes sense though if you don't think of it as an attack. People use their smartphones and handhelds to retreat and entertain themselves at the expense of interacting with others - like staying home and masturbating.
I'm one of the worst offenders for always having a gadget in hand, but at least I see it for what it is. It's amazing how few people talk to each other today. Most are even afraid to say "hi" if they don't know you already.
He is the grandpa Abe of anime ;)
@Anon 22:55 (Nice timing, lol)
Correct me if I'm wrong; I believe he stated that towards iPad/cellphones users in one article in this site iirc.
@shippoyasha
who is this miyazaki that you are referring to?
Hayao Miyazaki. The father of classy anime movies like Ponyo, Laputa and Totoro. Revolutionary mangaka, animator and one of the owners of Studio Ghibli:

Now if only they can make it in various female sizes with the appropriate orifices and hook it up to a game platform or PC for erogaming it will be a sure hit!
What a great add on controller!
Wii Boobs?
They're working on it. I have no doubt.
There is an estonian robot mannequin which can do that. It's time for some international cooperation it seems.
Ah...done with the torso, now for the rest of the body! Does this come in loli size? Just asking X3
Just hope there isn't a sudden surge of electricity, unless someone wants a realistic portrayal of an actual bear hug.
Spine go Bweak!
I demand a loli mannequin that can make you feel like you're getting leg scissors from her :3
I can actually foresee some commercial viability on that...
Someone probably will make one sooner or later.
This anon likes the thought of Loli Size hugging machine.
Loli = win
I'm not one to think that all 2D loli lovers are pedos, but when you start wanting a little girl sized 3D doll thing to hug you, I'd say that you're a pedo.
And have you ever thought about why pedophilia is viewed as something bad? Because it affect real children. Any other reason is moralist hate speech.
If someone wants an electronic child sized torso to mess with, let them, ffs!
this.
it's not like they can do anything about liking children. all they can do is keep their urges under control, which certainly isn't easy as far as i can imagine.
Clearly we should ban loli hentai, child sized mannequins and autistic children. Ban them all, yeah, that'll fix the problem.
read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov for a general idea of how pedo may suffer. Ok it's a novel, fiction.
Say it fetish, say it choice. It's reality.
Now, what you can do? Accept it, help them if you they need help, anything.
Just don't question free speech.
Why to "ban" autistic children, Anon 22:52? Ah yeah... they don't tell O_o remember me about that when I had to write that essay about victims of sex crime
@00:43
"Now, what you can do?"
Simple. Kill all the kiddyfuckers. Gas their sick asses to hell.
First: "It's drawing, it's not real! It's okay FFS!"
Then: "It's a child-sized mannequin, at least it's not breathing! It's okay, FFS!"
Finally: "It's an autistic child, she's not complaining! It's okay, FFS!"
Good job, pedos.
doll =/= real
Finally internet rape
Because hugging is dirty? You must have had a lonely childhood.
Again with moralist.It's a robo and you said it's 3D doll thing little girl,
