Company unveils first Kinect 3D sex game

Summary: The Kinect, from Microsoft, has been out for less than two months, and already, an adult game company has produced a demo using the motion controller in a 3D sex game.

Just more than two weeks ago, one of the world's leading experts on sex and video games said that while there were not yet working adult games using Microsoft's Kinect motion controller, the potential was there. That barrier has been broken, as one game company illustrates in a demo for a new game.

The demo (a NSFW YouTube video) comes from ThriXXX software, a maker of 3D role-playing sex simulation games, which said in a statement today that "the open-sourcing of device drivers for Kinect have enabled the...device to be used directly from connected PCs operating on Windows 7...The Kinect interface provides another exciting interface option for users of the sex simulation software to control the experience in extraordinary new ways. Controller-free is the next generation of game user interfaces, allowing users to use gestures, spoken commands, or objects to control in-game action that creates a completely new sex game activity and magical experience."

The demo shows that the Kinect is suitable for fairly well controlled hand gestures and that those gestures can be incorporated into a sex game. Without being too graphic, it's clear that the game makers imagine that players will be using the Kinect to interact directly with women (for now) in the game.

    At least Kinect is much more hygienic than a keyboard! And you can use both hands. ;)

    • I am having a bit of trouble.......

      @NonZealot

      getting my mind around how this would work in practice, as well as why the heck I would choose a Kinect sex game over the real thing. Maybe I am getting old.

      • I can think of 2 reasons

        @Economister
        [i]why the heck I would choose a Kinect sex game over the real thing[/i]

        1. Kinect is also much more hygienic than sex!

        [i]Maybe I am getting old.[/i]

        2. Kinect never gets disappointed when you can't get it up.

      • Hygienic sex?

        @Economister

        Now there is an oxymoron.

        As for your point 2, the fact that it still works, is all the more reason to pass on this game. ;-)

    • That game...

      @Loverock Davidson

      was probably made precisely for guys like you.

        @Economister Yep, 40-year old virgins like Loverock who live under pseudonyms in IT sites and live with their mothers.

        Sounds like Sonofasailor's kind of guy.

      Kinect, the ultimate marital aid?

    This was inevitable. Beyond the hype, most of us will check it out. Humans are curious animals, but generally not stupid. Sales figures will tell us how many people really dwell in moms basement.

    • RE: Company unveils first Kinect 3D sex game

      @trcrtps - Those who dwell in their moms basements run Linux or Mac, not XBox 360s (unless they hacked the box to run Linux, but that's a cirular argument)... :)

    • RE: Company unveils first Kinect 3D sex game

      @trcrtps You forget, this will definitely sell with the World of Warcraft crowd....they'll never leave the basement after this!

      • Nah... Never gonna happen...

        @cyberslammer2

        There is no feedback... At least with a WII you have a speaker on the remote and the stupid thing vibrates... With Kinect you are dry humping air... hmmm... On second thought, this could give all those wankers something other than the air guitar... But like the air guitar, I still don't want to see it.

        Are you still sporting that gay @ss Zod/Superman II avatar??? Cyberslammer2.. Dude.. That avatar is gayer than Lovecock Davidson and Non Zealot on a friday night.

        Hey I resemble that!

        Perhaps you could publish your adress so 13 million people could DPS your ass.

  • Watching me.

    Great. I'm supposed to stand in front of an array of cameras attached to my computer, which is attached to the internet, and act out my sexual fantasies. And I'm to trust that the system isn't sending 3D movies of me to who-knows-where.
    Hey, if I can't trust my local sex game designers, who can I trust?
