Submission + - A Open Source Digital Condom "hacking sex toys" (vice.com)
MicroBitz writes: We all know that condoms cause lessened sensation. A more pleasurable and easier to wear design is really needed, so not to numb the feeling and wreck the mood. How about increasing the good feeling?
Fraz Peer and Andrew Quitmeyer created a prototype of an open source, digital condom that's literally wired with electrodes along the side of the sleeve and hooked up to a microcontroller for power. The device creates electrical impulses along the shaft to mimic the pleasurable sensation that is dulled by traditional condoms. It's called, somewhat horrifically, the Electric Eel.
