Durex Fundawear - The Technology

Put on a pair of these magic underpants called Fundawear, and you'll be able to feel your lover's touch from anywhere on the planet.

Fundaware is a clever combination of a smartphone app and tiny vibrating motors sewn into female lingerie and male underpants. It accomplishes the task of "transferring touch across vast distances," said the project's technical director, Ben Moir in a YouTube video:

Commissioned by the Australian division of condom company Durex, Fundaware uses tiny vibrating actuators similar to those that give your finger that buzzing "haptic feedback" on smartphones. The intensity of Fundawear's vibrations correspond to the movements of the person's finger touching the smartphone screen from afar.

Imagine the possibilities.

The project is in the experimental stage thus far, with the company's Facebook page inviting adventurous test subjects to get their hands on Fundaware by telling the company how their would use the product with their partners.

Is this teledildonic breakthrough the next step in sexting, or will it be too much of a tease to be worthwhile?
