simulated virtual reality, especially computer-mediated sexual interaction
between the VR presences of two humans. This practice is not yet possible except
in the rather limited form of erotic conversation on MUDs and the like. The
term, however, is widely recognised in the VR community as a ha ha only serious
projection of things to come. "When we can sustain a multi-sensory surround good
enough for teledildonics, *then* we'll know we're getting somewhere."
