Couples Using Virtual Reality To Briefly Switch Genders

January 22, 2014 in couples, females, gender, heck yeah this is what virtual reality is all about!, i'd go female for a day i'm just saying, interesting, males, omg i have boobs -- I HAVE BOOBS!, sexual identification, switching sexes, the fairer sex, virtual reality, VR, when i think about you i touch myself (actually punch but it still counts)

Note: Video after the jump is NSFW on account of bare titties.

This is a video from the art installation The Machine to be Another featuring pairs of opposite sex participants wearing virtual reality headsets and going through a series of movements simultaneously while viewing the other's perspective. So if I'm a guy looking down and rubbing my boobs, I see the female's perspective of her doing the same thing, and she mine. That make sense? No? Well just watch the video, it has boobs in it. Did I lick my monitor? I never kiss and tell! This wasn't a kiss though, it was a lick, and I did.

Hit the jump for the NSFW video.

Thanks to TBTMH, who told me by boobs are already big enough to pretend they're a lady's. The truth hurts, it really does.

    They've invented the squid thing off of Strange Days. At last we may all experience a short doomed relationship with Juliette Lewis.

    Lets try masturbation now.

    I don't need to VR myself into a women's body to understand what a woman is like - I have an emotion called empathy.

  • Gene Kaufman

    What's up with the Steve Reich music? I'm sorry but that's the only thing that's on my mind after watching this...

  • joevsyou

    assuming this is the beginning of their project. With the riftThey are able to take make or take 3d images of any item and literally place it in a area

  • Azariel_z

    yeah, but they need to agreed to do the same moves, so...no point on this, not even an experiment...

  • Emu

    They move slowly enough to automatically adapt to their views motions. Imagine you see your arm move, but your real arm isn't moving at all, so you try to emulate what you are seeing. You have a bit of a lag, I guess, but the slower the motion, the lesser the lag and the better the adaptation.

    From a psychological and sociological point of view it is a really nice experiment. Until we can really simulate virtual "gender swaps" this is the best we can get.

    I mashed it twice during this video

    NSFW titty bait and switch... minimal skinny hot girl... lots of older average mother titties...

  • ProphetFlume

    She looked much better in her own POV, surprisingly.

  • César H. Sandoval

    Perspective, that's why girls always take selfies from a high angle... It makes them look better.

  • Prometheus

    oh now be careful, you won't want dozens of other people coming to rant at you for talking about old people!

  • Xankar

    Seems pretty pointless :L what are they trying to accomplish?

  • DapperNathaniel

    From the article: "Through out this experiment, we aim to investigate issues like Gender Identity, Queer Theory, feminist technoscience, Intimacy and Mutual Respect. " Basically, it's an experiment in seeing from another gender's perspective, and how they see themselves.

  • Xankar

    What i'm getting at is the fact that the only thing they're "accomplishing" is letting you look down at someone else's body from a camera...

  • The Magnificent Newtboy

    I think its the whole someone else's shoes idea that they are getting at but in a severely limited way... On the other hand if you ignore the scienceish part its a pretty cool/weird idea and would be quite interesting to experience.

  • Tyler AitchKay

    "Feminist Technoscience" is my favourite German house band.

  • dougfunnay

    trying to make up for the leia post huh?
