Die OhMiBod App
von Heather Kelley
Die OhMiBod-Applikation ist ein ästhetisches Interface für Vibratoren, mit dem Frauen ihr persönliches sexuelles Vergnügen gestalten können. Mit dem Multitouch-Bildschirm eines iPhones, iPod Touch oder iPad kann ein angeschlossener Vibrator visuell gesteuert werden. Das Interface ist ansprechend-abstrakt -- ohne Knöpfe oder Schieberegler. Ziel ist es eine intuitive Steuerung der Geschwindigkeit und Intensität der Vibration zu ermöglichen -- und das natürlich auch in der Dunkelheit und auch nur mit einer Hand.
The OhMiBod app is an intuitive and stylish vibrator interface for the iPhone. By “finger painting” on the touchscreen with one or two fingertips, the user can adjust and adapt vibration speed, intensity, and patterns solely by sense of touch. Output from the app is translated into signals which propel the motor of an attached vibrator, which can be purchased separately from OhMiBod’s online store or in select retail shops (such as Liebenswert, in Vienna).
The inspiration for the OhMiBod app was Ms. Kelley’s dissatisfaction with the functionally awkward user interfaces employed by most personal vibrators on the market - usually, a single button is used to blindly “cycle through” dozens of settings. “When I got my first iPhone and started playing with the touchscreen, i realized it was the perfect interface to provide more nuanced control,” says Kelley. The app’s beautiful graphic interface helps users identify and instantly access their favorite sensations. But its primary strength is its ability to translate intuitive finger movements into a wide range of vibration strengths and patterns. In other words, the OhMiBod app is especially well-suited to operate one-handed, with eyes closed.
