Has anyone tried the Fleshlight Launch? If you don't know what it is, it's basically a "robot" that controls a sextoy and does the job for you. The computer/phone can vary the speed and position of the fleshlight to match a video (which can be VR). I can't imagine how terrific it could be if we can find a way to make it work with our cock hero vids...

One guy seems to have found a way to control the Launch (like with reverse engineering...) so maybe we've got something to investigate here... what do you think??

Hey! Guy that found the way to control the launch here.

So right now there's at least 3-4 of us working on different solutions for controlling the launch and other toys, which will be released "when they're done", but hopefully also "soon". :)

I personally am working on a C# program that'll allow control of the Launch from Windows 10 (then moving to android/iphone via Xamarin after maybe), and I already have a javascript control script that works on Chrome on Mac/Linux/Android. Others are working on things like a Go version that works on Mac/Linux, and Swift version for native iOS apps, etc. If you're a developer that's interested in helping out, I run a slack instance and am happy to send invites, just private message me here. :)

In terms of getting it to work with cock hero videos, there are already some CH videos encoded over at http://realtouchscripts.com. Since we've got control working, we're now trying to figure out how to translate movie encodings between toys, so that, for instance, RealTouch encodings will work with the launch. That'll open up a ton of already encoded content.

I'm trying to post weekly updates on https://metafetish.com, and my software will be hosted at https://buttplug.io when it's ready. If you have any question, feel free to ask here or PM me! :)

This sounds really cool.

Please keep us updated.

Wow, this looks amazing. I had no idea any of this existed.

Looking forward to hearing more updates about this.

Also obligatory: RedBaron you are a creative mastermind for what you accomplished with Girlfriends and I hope we see more from you in the future!

How does this compare to what the real touch was? I was sad it died right before VR porn became a thing, very sad indeed. I still have a new one in the box I haven't opened too, arg.

If you'd like a in depth view into the Fleshlight Launch, I did a full review and teardown video that's up on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA7MdO0rEoo

It goes over basic usage, some of the issues with it, and even what the insides look like if you care about that sort of thing.

Generally, I think it's a decent device, though not as well engineered as the RealTouch (I have 2 of those myself :) ). Right now the default software that you use with it also isn't great, but that's why we're writing our own.

BTW, if you have new in box RTs and need cash, those things go for $$$$ on ebay now. The software I'm writing over at http://buttplug.io will support realtouch though (the protocol was open sourced before they got sued out of existence, and I have a special place in my heart for that toy, so well engineered in some ways :D ), so it might be worth keeping around too. :)

Well you are now officially my go-to expert on the future of porn. Here's my pipe-dream ...

1. surround-sound and hi-fi headphones
2. VR-goggles
3. erotic hypnosis sound-track
4. beat-meter
5. automated fleshlight-type device
6. beat-track on e-stim and running device 5.
7. combine all the above

Eventually, of course, we will be able to combine physical-fitness workouts, virtual-reality cock-hero challenges, e-stim and automated-stroker devices, and adaptive porn choices for the preferred scenery, type of action, and individual girls performing. This device will allow you to plug all your limbs and appendages into certain sockets, counter-balanced with weights and geared servo-controlled hinges, in order to allow you to bulk up your preferred muscle-groups while both whacking off and looking at porn, thus maximizing personal autonomic testosterone creation and workout motivation. Later versions of the device will be called the Star Trek Next Generation Holodeck and will addict most young males to the point of society's eventual collapse for lack of McDonald's employees ...

Is the beat-meter still needed at that point? Another activity to add, GROUP COMPETITION for those who want that. A thing that might be added to the device is a cum sensor to note when the game ended for a player. No need to say that the sensor should make the distinction with the pre-cum to avoid false-positive. No way to cheat with that kind of hardware.

Honestly, this should be doable at the moment, the main problem is synchronization.

1/2 - Solved problem, that's just VR Porn?
3 - Well that's kinda a per user thing I guess, but if you know what works, pipe it in?
4 - Ok, time for me to show my noobness here, what's a beat meter? Seen the term in your post and the next.
5 - That's the fleshlight launch!
6 - I work in estim reverse engineering also. We've actually built our own DIY box, similar to other popular boxes on the market: http://buttplug.io/hardware/mk312-bt. I'll be supporting control of computer controlled boxes in the software on http://buttplug.io too.
7 - Yeah, that's the hard part, the synchronization

Part of my whole plan for open source world domination is building a web-tech based movie player (read: something that runs in your browser) that's easy to integrate synchronization scripts too, so that could be an option.

Have you considered writing fiction for http://malebots.com?

It's basically a guitar-hero style scrolling bar (usually horizontally) that gives you a visual indicator when to "beat" it.
(like in my video here on PH)

Btw: love your blog and your git repo was super useful, so thanks for that .

Coincidentially, I started working on a CockHero - based controller for the launch two days ago (so that would be point 4 and 5 I guess).

Right now I have the following components (all pre-alpha of course):

• Service that control the Launch via Bluetooth
• Video-analyzer that extracts the timestamps of beats from existing videos (beatbar)
• Test-Bench Video Player to put above mentied functionality together

Technical rant:
The launch is not fast enought to stroke full length at full speed, but that's totally fine, shorter strokes for faster beats should do the trick - I only have to figure out if the launch gets slower when it's actually in use. Bluetooth LE in .Net is a Nightmare (only works in WinRT and there you can't use any regular IPC, not even simple TCP because of Network Isolation)

Thanks! Hah, I was actually asking cause I was thinking about writing a cockhero interface myself, so glad to see someone else is doing it!

Funny enough, the most popular post on Metafetish is about cock hero:

https://www.metafetish.com/2012/11/19/m ... cock-hero/

I guess I come up pretty high in google results for CH and fap gauntlets due to that article. Never really played them myself though, heh.

We've got some initial data on stroke speed during full length thrusts, I'll try to figure out a way to get that published for you. Right now we're mostly concentrating on Kiiroo -> Launch emulation just because there's so much stuff that already supports Kiiroo. One of the people I'm working with did a rundown of the algorithm Kiiroo uses for translating that:

https://godoc.org/github.com/funjack/la ... col/kiiroo

As for BLE, I'm using it just fine in a WPF application, so I can run without UWP restrictions. I have it up and running with an HTTP server for Kiiroo Platform emulation, and a WebSocket server for the JSON API I'm building. Check out

http://github.com/metafetish/buttplug-csharp

The ButtplugGUI/ButtplugCLI apps there are both just .NET Framework apps, you just have to bring in the proper WinSDK Metadata file. For more information on how this works, check out

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3733 ... 1#37335251

BUT! Do note that if you're trying to use Bluetooth LE on Windows 10 Creators Update, there is a REALLY NASTY bug in Microsoft's APIs. See my answer (the accepted one) on this StackOverflow question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4356 ... 5#43673775

Patching out the registry makes things work fine though, as long as your patch matches your executable name. Check out the .reg file in the buttplug-csharp directory for an example.

That's why!? Oh for fucks sake, I was wondering why that f'ing .winmd file didn't work

Hey! Guy that found the way to control the launch here.

Hey qDot! Nice to meet you! That's super cool you are on-board in this topic, but how did you find my post? By accident? Maybe you just scan sites/posts that are linking to metafetish.com...

Also obligatory: RedBaron you are a creative mastermind for what you accomplished with Girlfriends and I hope we see more from you in the future!

Hey Zoltan, it's always nice to see that, after 1 year 1/2, you still love CH Girlfriends. Like you, I like softcore and (very) slow building intensity. I prefer imagine what's underneath than revealing too soon...It helps the immersion. I think CH Girlfriends is the only CH that does not reveal a boob before 20 min (that was a bit risky, but it worked!).

Liquid, I'm happy you're here too! If you consider making a CH for a FleshLight Launch, I would say : do not use a beatmeater! A cock hero without beatmeter but working with a Launch would be insanely good (and also very hard) as we can surprise the player. With the beatmeter, we've got 2-3 s to see what's going to happen... I think it's not even necessary to follow always the beat of the music but sometimes following the actions that is on screen. Of course, your videoanalyser can be useful for the already existing CH.
If we make this work, like book_guy says, this could be the beginning of the end of the humanity

Sorry, I'm not an expert IT guy so I can't help that much... Anyway, I will support qDot on his patreon and I encourage you too to do so if you want this to happen (I'm sure it worths it)! Same for Liquid, if you need help/support whatever the form is, please tell us..

The number of daily hits to metafetish.com just about tripled after you posted, so I came over to see what was going on. :)

Wow, awesome, thanks! Yeah, for anyone else interested, I have a patreon that helps me fund buying new toys/hardware for continuing sex toy software development:

http://patreon.com/qdot

I'd be writing this stuff whether or not there was money involved, this just helps me pick up new toys (like the Launch!) faster so I can help others write new software for them. :)
