“Pornovation” is the new term being used to describe the amalgamation of pornography and technology innovation. At the Arse Elektronika expo in San Francisco, sexual technologies took center stage.
“No one can predict what the future will bring, but history indicates that sex will continue to play an essential role in technological development,” it says on the Arse Elektronika site.
The event runs at Porn Palace from October 5-7 and covers industry innovations in lectures and through performances, including the Electric Orifice Orchestra where “extravagantly dressed performers use live biofeedback from muscular interior walls of their bodies to create a multimedia interactive show.”
Check out some of Trend Hunter’s “pronnovation” coverage in the past:

You knew it would not take long for the porn industry to exploit technological advances in mobile tv. Now, naughty flicks are available via cellphones with the help of the mobile TV technology.

NTT Comware has created a remote 3D virtual sensing system. By sitting in front of a 3D display and putting on an actuator glove, that provides feedback, you sense that you are actually touching the object on the display.

Today a new technology's success with porno consumers is a dependable indicator of the product's overall market potential. Currently, all factors show that high-tech developments like virtual reality owe a great deal of their success to the need for further sexual stimulation. One could cite the example provided by the science-fiction concept of a full-body interface designed to produce sexual stimulation. But it isn't science fiction anymore.
Is it going too far to assume that research in nanotechnology and genetic engineering will be influenced by our sexual needs? The surgical modification of sexual organs is no longer something very unusual. The question is not whether these technologies alter humanity, but how they do so.
