i don't know why they're dressing this shit up so much
they're doing a really basic improv exercise where you try and match the movements of another person. Only through an oculus rift. This has nothing to do with science or gender whatever. It's just a bunch of vague art school bullshit.
That'd be a somewhat uncomfortable time to get an erection.

Or a somewhat great time.

Oh man, the POV view is pretty cool and pretty freaky at the same time.

I think the point is that when what you see matches what you feel, your brain is tricked into thinking that the body is actually yours. I can imagine that one part where they're actually standing in front of each other and can see their [I]real[/I] body, from the perspective of their genderswapped new body, must be such a huge mindfuck.
I can assure you it's most likely not just an improv exercise, it has got to feel really weird, if for no other reason then because of 'The Rubber Hand Illusion'.

We could make an entirely new Chatroulette, where you can actually [I]become[/I] the thousands of overweight man jacking off.
"feminist technoscience" has to be my favourite word for bullshit science now :v:
Get a small floating drone with a camera hooked to a rift that follows you
bam, real life third person view

Well quadrotors are pretty cheap, even with cameras
you'd need to be a good coder to get it to stay near you without input from a controller or something
conceptually it's viable but you'd need to wear a battery pack and a computer on you

And then you'd have to somehow justify walking down a public street with a VR device on your head, half a computer lab strapped to your body, and a whirring little helicopter drone trailing along behind you. As a plus, you would at least be able to see the people turning around to laugh at your back as you walk by.
Imagine a new(?) type of point-of-view porn, where an actress wears a special camera on their head and does stuff to their body, and consumers later review the footage using an occulus. That must be trippy as all heck man.

I had more of a "What could that possibly even be?" moment.
Fuck yeah, feminist technoscience!
Sounds cool as hell
Imagine fucking a chick and you're both wearing this technology. How trippy would that be?

They sort of did that with Google Glass. There was a thread about it earlier this month.

Or just have the guy have one of those 360 cameras strapped to his head and then you can watch it with the rift and freely look around. Next generation of pov porn.

Then watch this: [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114558/[/url]
Rape scene with the girl wearing a device that makes her feel like she's... her rapist. It's crazy.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_technoscience]It's actually not something they just made up[/url]
Although "technoscience" already means science in the context of society so adding "feminist" in front of it seems redundant to me
fuck yes finally i can become my waifu
Oh You Guys, pushing my sanity to its limits.

Coincidentally, I've been looking for that movie for a little bit under a year, just couldn't remember the name of it and couldn't come up with good enough keywords while searching for it.
So thanks I guess.
