Device types


 * Recording Device
 * Collects information through sensors and creates a teledildonic media stream.


 * Playback Device
 * Receives and plays a teledildonic media stream.


 * Recording Only Device
 * A device which can generate a teledildonic media stream, but has no playback ability. An example might be an artificial vagina which measures penetration depth and diameter. Not to be confused with a phallus.


 * Sending Only Device
 * A device which plays a teledildonic stream, but has no sensors. For example, an artificial vagina which replays parallel axis motion and vibration.


 * Half Duplex Device
 * Can record or play back, but not at the same time


 * Full Duplex Device
 * Can record and play back at the same time


 * Catcher
 * A device intended to receive a penis, finger, or similar object.


 * Pitcher
 * A device intended for insertion in an orifice


 * Virtual Device
 * A software device which takes the place of an unavailable recording or playback device. For example, if the receiving party has a device which vibrates, but the sending party has no device capable of recording vibration, a virtual device could provide the media stream required to control vibration.
