DIY Robotic Platform Aims To Solve Walking In VR

[Mark Dufour]’s TACO VR undertaking is a kind of robotic system that mimics an omnidirectional treadmill, and aims to deliver a compact and conveniently transportable way to allow a consumer to wander the natural way in VR.

Unenthusiastic about most answers for making it possible for a consumer to walk in VR, [Mark] took a completely different method. The consequence is a robotic system that suits within a compact place whose sides fold up for transportation when packed up, it resembles a taco.

It is an formidable job, but [Mark] is up to the endeavor and the project’s GitHub respository has every little thing needed to remain up to day, or get concerned your self. The hardware is predominantly focused on performance right now definitely a drop or stumble though working with the prototype seems like it would be uncomfortable at the quite finest, but the concept is modern.

When stowed for storage or transportation, the program resembles a taco.

Locomotion concerns as a full are nonetheless not solely solved troubles in VR. It’s a space in which impressed hobbyists can totally experiment and innovate in a meaningful way. After all, the one of a kind locomotion procedure in Gorilla Tag — a VR multiplayer activity in which players are legless gorillas who shift using only their arms — is a wonderful

Let’s get loud: EOS-based Aussie music platform Emanate coming live to Ethereum soon

The EOS-built decentralised music-sharing platform Emanate (EMT) has plenty going on under the hood and is set to open it all up to Ethereum via Uniswap. We caught up with Jimi Frew and Sean Gardner – two of the founders from the under-the-radar Aussie project.

Let’s start with the elevator pitch. How would you describe Emanate?

JF: It’s a platform for music sharing, collaboration and distribution, focused on the Web3 environment. It’s designed to close the relationship gap between artists, labels and their communities and make it super easy to monetise your love of music.

So is disrupting the traditional music industry a narrative the project plays into? Was that the spark for the idea?

JF: Yeah, the idea was originally about improving efficiency and collaboration opportunities in music. The legacy music industry is still built around outdated systems and processes. So for Emanate, the opportunity was shifting how music is shared and consumed as we bring it out of the dark ages.

Would you say Emanate is all about putting artists first?

JF: It’s more about empowering anyone who contributes value. So it could be the artists, music collectives/labels, community influencers or super fans. There’s a lot of scope here for automation and increased transparency – and that will ultimately put more revenue in the pockets of artists.

Sextech Company Lioness Launches COVID Study + Research Platform at CES

This report is not only the world’s largest physiological data set on sexual behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s also the world’s biggest study done on real world, in-the-bedroom-where-sex-happens sex (rather than in the confines of a research laboratory) in general!

How has COVID-19 changed our sex lives?

COVID sex and its alleged sex toy boom is an ambiguous conclusion at best. While a number of stories in the media may lead you to believe that everyone is buying more sex toys and having more sex, we have evidence that those bedrooms are not actually that buzzy. Using Lioness Vibrator product usage as our guide, we’ve observed far more convincing evidence of a significant drop-off in masturbation frequency as the year wore on relative to 2019 for the same users.

We looked at anonymous aggregate physiological usage statistics from 1879 Lioness users primarily in the United States who were active in 2019 and 2020 and nearly 40,000 sessions recorded from January 1, 2019 through December 12, 2020. Specifically, there were 19,578 total sessions in 2019 and 19,481 total sessions in 2020*. We supplemented this data with a smaller qualitative user survey of 235 Lioness user respondents to better understand what was going on from a qualitative perspective.

Key takeaways:

– Less Frequent: Masturbation frequency plummeted while the pandemic boomed — November 2020 showed a 37.78% decline in masturbation frequency when compared to frequency in November 2019.
– Longer Duration: Between February 2020 and April 2020, average session
