Embodiments described herein provide for interactive sex toys utilizing a plurality of sensors. Preferably, the disclosed embodiments are utilized in conjunction with a second device such as a reactive male or female sex toy and/or a virtual reality device such as a virtual reality headset. Some embodiments disclosed herein utilize a virtual reality system having a memory and a processor configured to receive and store a plurality of data, to process the plurality of data to generate visual graphics, and to display the generated visual graphics to a user. Although the second device is described herein as an interactive sex toy or the like, in practice the second device can be any device.
The processor and the first plurality of sensors 103 are configured to communicatively couple the interactive sex toy with a second device and to transmit the first plurality of sensory data to the second device.
The docking pad 102 is configured to selectively receive the housing 101 in a substantially upright position.
Although only manual hand stimulation is illustrated, the housing is configured for insertion into vaginas, anuses, and other body cavities.
The sensors from the first plurality of sensors 103 are selected from the group an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, a capacitive sensor, and combinations thereof.
The first sensory data includes data selected from the group of data selected from the group of ultrasonic sensor data, laser sensor data, infrared sensor data, tactile data, and combinations thereof.
In some embodiments the power source is a rechargeable battery.
In some embodiments the interactive sex toy further comprises a docking pad configured to selectively receive the housing in a substantially upright position.
In some embodiments where the power source is a rechargeable battery, the docking pad 102 is configured to use an external power source to recharge the power source 104 when the housing 101 is received by the docking pad 102.
In some embodiments the interactive sex toy further comprises a second plurality of sensors (not shown) proximately located to the upper surface of the docking pad 102. In some embodiments, the second plurality of sensors are located within the docking pad and their measurement part is flush to the upper surface of the docking pad.
