My team was presented to me and I was impressed. It ended up being 10 men and two women. A mix of engineers, technologists and technicians. I was allowed to add a couple of people I know to the list, making it 14, although most of the team was only called in when their expertise was needed.
The first machine we developed was for a woman to experience. After a lot of brainstorming and testing, we threw out the idea of an android. The prototype ended up being a bed. The woman would lie on her back on the bed with her legs apart in a kind of stirrups and her arms latched in by her sides. All it needed was a blindfold and it would make a great BDSM commercial! The reason she was locked in place was so that she didn't get in the way of the mechanism of the bed. She would lay back and through the 3D goggles and noise cancelling headphones, see a virtual man making love to her. A fragrance to simulate a man's sweat was also added.
The first trial was with a virtual reality big black guy with six pack abs and an eight inch cock. To back this up with a real experience we had a mechanical torso with an eight inch dildo on an arm that would move in and out simulating sex. The cock was a marvel of engineering. It was heated and had the ability to grow and shrink and pulse from a simulated orgasm. Our prototype could even understand such voice commands as "start", "faster", "slower", "stop", etc. The scanner could identify tits, cunts, and so forth. We laughingly called it the "targeting software". This consisted of video cameras at two locations on an arm. This gave the ability to target the body in a 3D environment on an X,Y, and Z axis. The cameras were digitized and compared to a huge database of pictures of breasts, nipples, vulvas, clitoris, etc. The finger and tongue had a crude form of tactile feedback that could find the clitoris and could apply very gentle pressure (at least that was the finding from initial tests). Breasts were easy for the scanner to identify, but we had a lot of trouble identifying vaginas. I never realized that every vulva was so different! We even had a mechanical kisser on another arm that could perform oral sex and hopefully do a nice job of stimulating a woman by kissing her breasts, etc. We hadn't perfected kissing on the mouth yet. It was surprisingly hard to make that feel right.
I don't know where, but they found two women willing to be the guinea pigs for the first actual test. I was on pins and needles hoping nothing would go wrong and that nobody got hurt with the robotics. Jenna, one of the women on our team would be in the room monitoring the test and able to shut it down in an instant. The rest of the team waited in another room watching what the woman saw on the 3D goggles(minus the snapshot of her) and listening to the sound feed. We could hear the test subject talking to Jenna. Jenna was providing a running commentary into a microphone (God, I wish I could see this!). The woman was undressed and strapped in on the bed and we could see the virtual black dude come into the room and make small talk with her. "Oh my, my my! what do we have here? A naked white chick! I'll bet you have always wondered what it was like to fuck a real man! Well, I am going to fuck you silly until you can't take it anymore!" (I wonder who wrote the dialog?)
The man got himself undressed and got up on the bed. The bed even moved to simulate a man getting on an off the bed. He made circles with his finger around what I assume were her nipples. Through the goggles she wore she could see a snapshot of herself from her point of view taken by a camera built into the goggles, overlayed with the simulation. We couldn't have a live feed, otherwise she could see the fake arms, etc. By turning her head she could see a 360 degree simulation of a room that could be changed to suit the fantasy. The snapshot of herself on the bed was cut off at the bed. I wonder how close the two images corresponded? I knew that right now a mechanical arm was simulating his finger.
The test continued until we could hear the woman moaning from an orgasm. Wow! I didn't think we could get that to happen on the first test. The test ended and eventually Jenna called us back into the room after the woman had dressed and left. We all had questions for Jenna about how real the sex looked to her. (She watched the same display the subject watched.) We would be interviewing the subject tomorrow to get feedback as well.
During coffee break while the two women were out of the room, the rest of us perverts checked out the snapshot of the woman on the bed. Although she was assured that nothing was saved to disk, the image was still in the volatile memory buffer. Wow! There are some benefits to this industry!
We continued the testing throughout the rest of the day and by 5:00 only myself and Jenna were left in the room. Jenna is a knockout that I could only dream of taking out. Our company policy doesn't allow employees to date, and I didn't want to get fired, not that a geek like me would have a chance anyway. She looked to be about 5' 8" with a 36 D cup and very much in shape. Although I had worked with her on other projects over the years, I still took sneak peeks at her when she wasn't looking. She walked over toward me and asked if she had my permission to test the machine herself this evening after supper. I was shocked and said "Are you sure about this? We have two women testers, why would you want to try this yourself?"
She answered "I have the technical ability to be able to see how well the mechanical arms are lining up with the simulation and be able to describe functions better than a test subject."
I couldn't argue with that but I added "You shouldn't be alone in there during the test."
"Well, I am sure not going to let you or any of the other guys be in the room, and Debbie is a lesbian so that wouldn't be any better." She laughed. "Besides, the voice recognition stop command is working well, and the slip clutches won't allow any undo pressures to be applied to me."
I reluctantly agreed to her request and asked her what time she planned to do this.
"Why do you want to know?" she asked suspiciously.
"I was planning to come back this evening to do some work and I don't want to be here then."
