There supposedly will soon be technology allowing you to date your girlfriend (or Brooke Shields for that matter) when she is out of town. The company (IMMR- price 2.60) that will probably be involved is presently losing money and has a suit against Microsoft. So buying it certainly a gamble that will pobably lose. But oh those pot odds.
The primary problem I see with companies like this,

is that they completely misapprehend the problem of creating a sensory experience. They always see it in terms of, like, wearing a suit that will have nerve ticklers in its lining, so as to simulate something you would actually feel.
The easiest way to make a person-shaped suit feel like another person is not to wear it like a glove, but to, like, take it off, turn it inside out, and stuff it with jelly, so that its very shape defines what it is supposed to feel like, without a lot of processor cycles.
So, if there is ever a shortage in women, sexual predators on the Internet can pull up a web-site that will put them at the controls, or inside the head of one of these at a remote location,

But understand, it will be this THING that will have to wear the sensors, to know where you are, and relay it back up the Worldcom backbone.

Is it a rumour? I didn't see any specifics on the web page.
