<application, virtual reality> /tel"*-dil-do"-niks/ Sex in a
computer 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."
