RealTouch Announces Software Development Kit Beta Program

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Interactive sex device RealTouch has announced the immediate availability to selected developers of a beta release of a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the device. RealTouch is seeking qualified business partners to build RealTouch functionality into their products. Partners who would like to integrate their existing products with the RealTouch device are invited to email developerinfo@realtouch.com to join the beta program. Qualified partners will be able to manipulate proprietary haptic technology to simulate sexual encounters with their own products. Potential opportunities include existing virtual worlds, online role playing games, chat programs, or any other technology where an online sexual interaction might be enhanced with RealTouch’s groundbreaking device. The SDK features sample code and basic documentation to help developers get started. This development kit currently targets Windows/C++/Visual Studio 2010, Windows/C++/Visual Studio 2008 and C#/Silverlight. The RealTouch Development team uses these development tools to create new features for the RealTouch Network every day. The SDK beta program is a second step to expand the possible uses of the RealTouch device and follows the release of the Content Development Kit (CDK) in February. The CDK provides the RealTouch video content standard to those who would like to encode their own adult videos for the RealTouch device. "We're excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community with potentially thousands of native applications for our growing RealTouch community," said Scott Rinaldo, RealTouch director of sales. "Providing business partners with our technology will provide our customers with the best user experience and the most innovative sexual interaction applications in the industry." Starting today, anyone can reach out to the development team at RealTouch to request to join the beta RealTouch SDK group at no cost. During the beta RealTouch SDK program, a limited number of business partners will be accepted into the SDK beta program and provided a development key that will allow them to manipulate the controls of the RealTouch device. Members of the program will also have access to best effort support, as well as in-house QA testing when their application is ready for distribution. The next phase of this technology push at RealTouch is to finalize a Developer Program that will provide developers with everything they need to create native applications, which can be sold to members of the RealTouch Network in the new Applications Store on realtouch.com. This phase is slated for later in 2011.
