Sex toys over the Internet

Has anybody done this stuff? Sounds amazing to me.

Herb Hillman, a guy I used to work with, and I discussed the feasibility of computer controlled sex devices, but this was before everybody had high-speed internet. With that, you and your friend can give yourselves pleasure across the world. Ingenious.

"If you've had avatar sex in Second Life, you probably have Stroker Serpentine of Strokerz Toys to thank. Stroker, famous for creating avatar genitals and sex animations and other complex in-world sex tech, accepted the microphone in his turn and began simply, "My name is Stroker Serpentine, and I am a pervert." The audience roared its approval.

Finally, qDot Bunnyhug, who is known outside of Second Life as robotics engineer and "intimate interfaces" blogger Kyle Machulis, presented the first open-source interface for controlling sex toys from within the virtual world."

Who do you suppose is in charge of that part of open source software?
