The Virtual Sex Machine Hooks up to any standard 25 pin parallel (printer)
port. Most PCs in use today are compatible and have an acceptable
port. Our installation disc includes all the software and updates to make the
machine run with 99.9% of computers. Certain computers may require driver
updates from Microsoft or the manufacturer, but these have always been free. The
machine comes with all the necessary cables and power supplies to install and
operate your machine. No other equipment should be necessary.
We currently have more than 30 experiences available on
our website for purchase, with more added regularly. Any video CD or
downloadable file with the 
logo is compatible with the Virtual Sex Machine, and will operate it. We will
continue to be a clearing house for these experiences, and will link you to many
dealers in the future in addition to ourselves.
As many of you know, Macintosh is a closed proprietary operating system.
Apple ® computer controls who can create hardware
and software for their machines. Without their cooperation on a product such as
this, it is nearly impossible to create a machine that we can fully support.
Also, from an economic standpoint, we do not feel it is currently feasible to
invest the amount of money it would take to serve such a small segment of the
computer industry. We prefer to focus on the majority share of users that are
currently using Windows operating systems. In this way, we can concentrate a
better effort to serving this clientele.
The Virtual Sex Machine was originally conceived by inventor and scientist
Eric J. White. The company Virtual Reality Innovations was formed around the
idea of developing this technology and bringing it to the world. Many
distinguished engineers and scientists were involved in the construction and
refinement of the technology. Because of society's prejudices, they wish to work
in anonymity through the company. In this way, we can bring together some of the
greatest minds in the world without fear of reprisal from their colleagues and
society.
The Virtual Sex Machine is manufactured in the United States of America, and
proudly bears a notice to that effect. Pieces of the machine are manufactured in
China and Canada, but the Machine is 100% engineered, assembled and packaged in
the United States of America. We build the machine to rigid standards, and are
quite proud of our product. It should not be confused with some inexpensive
lower quality merchandise found in the adult industry. We stand behind the
Virtual Sex Machine with our Warranty.
We are absolutely fanatical about our customer's security and privacy. All
transaction with our company are processed by us, by hand. We do not
automatically charge your credit card at the time of purchase. When your order
is placed, you information is immediately encoded with a high level algorithm
for the short transport to our secure server. From there, your information is
removed from the computer networks to a stand alone physically secure computer
system. There is NO outside access to this system. Your credit card is processed
by hand through a manual credit card processing service. We verify your credit
card against your address, and shipping address. We do NOT use any third
party credit card processors. It is a common practice of some third party credit
card processors to sell or share your customer information for the purpose of
further solicitations. This will NEVER happen with VRI. Under no circumstances
to we sell or share your purchase information with any third person for the
purpose of solicitation. None of that bulk mail will ever be traced back to us.
You can buy from us with safety and security. Your credit card statement will
read a charge from "Virtual Reality Innovations," and that is all.
This seems to be confusing to some people. We did not include manual controls
for the device for one very specific reason. The purpose of the machine is to
re-create a sexual experience. The concept behind the Virtual Sex Machine is
that you the viewer get to experience the action on the screen, as it happens,
how it happens. It is portrayed as an actual sexual experience. Part of the
attraction for the experience is the fact that you don't know what is
going to happen next. You are also given pleasure without effort. You are not
really in control of the situation, but are experiencing the fun without the
effort. We are working on a version of the software that has override controls
tucked away for those that need to have control over the experience. Stay tuned
to our site for updates on this.
Will
it work with other videos?
The VSM works with many videos, and more are being added
regularly. Any video bearing the "Enhanced with Teledildonics" Logo
will work. Look for this logo:

Does
it work over the Internet?
The Virtual Sex Machine was
originally conceived, designed and built to work over the internet as well
as from a Video CD. As we progressed with the building of the technology
and product, we continued to wait for the bandwidth that was promised to
happen. To date, most homes are still served by dial-up connections. High
speed internet access is essential to proper use of the Virtual Sex
Machine. We made the decision to not offer this feature until we could
assure our customers of the best quality in the product. But, when this
feature is eventually turned on, no additional hardware will be needed.
All versions of the Virtual Sex Machine have been "internet
ready" since the product first hit the street. Keep checking back for
news on this.

Why
isn't the interface USB, isn't USB better?
The
Virtual Sex Machine was built with cross platform compatibility in mind.
USB is a relatively new port, and not all machines out there have it.
additionally, the people that are not using Windows 98SE or above cannot
have a USB Port. It is also only recently that USB was made available to
Windows NT. While most people have computers that are compatible, not all
do. Most computers have a printer port. Computers since
1981 have had one. USB is used in many modern applications and peripherals,
because most of the modern day peripherals depend on your computer's processor
to "think" for them. Don't miss-understand "new" as in
USB to impart some kind of "advanced" status to accessories for
your computer. The parallel port is a powerful port. Additionally, the
Virtual Sex Machine has it's own Microprocessor, and doesn't depend on
your computer to "think" for it. This allows for a nearly
negligent load placed on your computer's processing capabilities. By not
using your processor or memory, The virtual Sex Machine allows that full
power to be used so your video is cleaner and smoother. This results in
all around better performance on all machines. IF you have a laptop
or mini PC without one, you may consider buying a refurbished XP machine,
like the Dell's currently available at
ECost.com. They can be purchased for as little as $99.00.

Do
I need a DVD Drive? Are the Movies DVD?
No.
You DO NOT need a DVD drive. The Videos are compatible with ALL Standard
CD Rom drives that are 4X or faster. (Which is almost all of them.) Again,
we were seeking the ability to be compatible with all machines. We also
needed special data handling capabilities to be present in the video to
control your Virtual Sex Machine. We use a special proprietary video
stream for this purpose. The good news is, your Video CDs are 100%
compatible with Windows media player. That means they play in EVERY
windows machine, and many Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux machines. This added
value feature allows people without Virtual Sex Machines to enjoy our
special content as well as our customers. There may also be times you want
to watch one of our videos without using the machine, (We wouldn't know
why) and this built in feature allows for that. This should show you that
the Virtual Sex Machine was a carefully thought out product with a solid technological
design. It also allows us to pull from a much larger supply of content.
Since we are already compatible with your favorite website, it makes it
easier to add them to our library. It should also be noted that our discs
ARE compatible with many DVD players. Check your owner's manual to see if
it is compatible with Video CD or Microsoft Windows Media Format.
