RealTouch

RealTouch is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand RealTouch rather than just read about it. In short: The RealTouch was a first of a kind teledildonic male sexual stimulation device consisting of a sleeve fitted with "belts, jets, heating elements and other gadgetry" that fits over the penis and synchronizes sensations to a specially produced online video. It was created by AEBN in 2008.

Key takeaways

RealTouch belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect RealTouch to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of RealTouch from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The RealTouch was a first of a kind teledildonic male sexual stimulation device consisting of a sleeve fitted with "belts, jets, heating elements and other gadgetry" that fits over the penis and synchronizes sensations to a specially produced online video. It was created by AEBN in 2008. Representatives for the company demonstrated the device at the 2009 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas and it was released in November 2009. AEBN also produced a dildo with a capacitive touch sensor; the JoyStick. With these two products, it sought to offer access to interactive remote teledildonic services over the Internet through its RealTouch Interactive division. Marketing the RealTouch had significant patent licensing costs. AEBN withdrew from the market in 2015 when it could no longer sustain the cost of producing the product.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with RealTouch

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what RealTouch claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to RealTouch before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about RealTouch ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of RealTouch

In research: RealTouch appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses RealTouch in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: RealTouch is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American inventions, Ejaculation inducing devices, Machine sex, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for RealTouch outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is RealTouch in simple terms?

Why does RealTouch matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study RealTouch?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
