Veru One from ChastityTek - Cageless Smart Chastity Device

Seems gimmicky like the cell mate. I get all the bells and whistles appeal to some but they've yet to get one right. This one doesn't even stop erections so it's not even a cage by definition.

Do you think it is a scam? Just a indiegogo cash grab or something?

The cell mate was interesting but their app was so bad that it was barely usable. I am hopeful to just see some innovation with cages even though I do get a kick from holding an actual key. Yes you are right, it really isn't a cage.
 
Interesting idea (in fact I had the same one). But how does it actually measure arousal and know when an orgasm is coming?
 
At the absolute most, it is vaporware at this point.
As far as I know, they have yet to show any real product (or even prototypes) beyond their renders and promotional videos.

Does that mean its a scam? Not necessarily.
They could have good intentions and are just hoping to raise funding before getting it produced... buuuuuut it is extremely fishy in that sense that they don't have anything more than it being a fantasy at this point.

Upon further review as I'm writing this, I am growing less confident it isn't a scam.

While it looks like they've put a bunch of work into their website, the majority of content is AI-generated so a red flag on that end of things.

Second red flag, there is no legally-mandated, mention of location, and there is no name/person behind it other than "the inventor"

And even just logically... how is it going to hold itself in place with just the thin strap underneath? Its going to be so top heavy and falling down.
(Plus battery life, any technical glitches, those probes causing irritation, etc)

We have seen many approaches of smart chastity devices like this. But most have failed to produce a real product.

And the few remainders, like Qiui, have mostly failed because they insist that the users of their products stay in their walled garden. The Qiui app is working, but is so bad that it is only barely working.

For a smart chastity device to gain real momentum it has to have open specifications. So everybody can check for security problems. But also so technical people can create their own apps for it. Open specifications enable everybody to invent new and exciting uses in software for the hardware.

I like the idea but yes I think it is probably vaporware but they did apply for patents according to them so maybe that means something.
 
Just saw an ad for this on fetlife, so I checked out the site and watched the video.

This is a hard pass for me, even if they manage to get something built. The physical cage IS THE POINT OF THE WHOLE EXCERCISE for me.

I can't figure out who they think their market is? How many guys into chastity wish there was a complicated multi-part (ring, app, chest strap) device that may or may not reliably work and needs constant recharging and feels like a oddly balanced cockring?

And it requires a chest strap to measure HR? I'm an endurance athlete, I have straps galore - but if this is supposed to be "more discrete", wearing a chest strap negates that. Even if it pairs with an armband, it's still breaking the discretion.

I'm not saying this is a certainly a pump'n'dump cash grab, but I am saying the likelihood of this product reaching the consumer as a viable, finished, bug-free, fully functional and supported device are just about zero.

Where did it mention a chest strap?
You can measure heart rate using the same type of finger device that hospitals use, but presumably monitoring a blood vessel in the penis

The thing is, wristwatch based HR is wildly inaccurate. They can tell the difference between resting and working hard and that's about it. The only way to get get HR that is both responsive and accurate is with a strap.

Oh I see, that's kinda odd then? I'm pretty sure the heart sensor is those two windows on the back of the device and this is then held in place with a rubber strap. If it works with the same thing on an Apple watch then I guess that's OK as a backup, but a chest strap is a bit clumsy?

It mentions it in the FAQ lower down:

Do I even need the external chest strap/ring/smartwatch?

The device works just fine without another heart rate monitoring source, but this added layer increases its accuracy.

---
I feel it would be better measuring the blood flow in the penis, but then that's a different style of device to this
 
I don't think it's a good use of our time to try to reverse engineer rendered vaporware. But there's NO WAY they can bring this out at any kind of remotely reasonable price point with a built-in HR monitor. And as I mentioned, and their own marketing that you quoted very strongly insinutates, wristwatch based HR is not very accurate.

So their plan for making money is creating a device for a niche fetish that's more way more complicated and expensive than anything else already on the market. I just don't see how that's going to work out well for them.

I think it's useful to discuss the application of technology as it might one day apply to this area?
The basic form of belts have remained much the same for 30 years now, with maybe only Cocoon bringing a little art to the design.

As for whether this will make it to market, it's possible? DreamLover did and CellMate has managed to drop three versions of its toy, and now we have decent 3D printers and a variety of materials to build enclosures. I think I'd rather upload it to github and forgo the hassle.
And the hardware cost, a heart rate monitor is basically $1, a Bluetooth microcontroller, $4, but as ever the box it comes in is the expensive part. Plus whatever pointless bureaucratic hurdles are involved in trying to sell anything to a public who can't be trusted with a cup of hot coffee, never mind something producing high voltage and containing small parts...

Nice idea but i think the implementation will fail

The cage is useful because you cant get it off easily, the KH could get the warning but "Honey is a software issue" and solved, i am sure it will have plenty false positives, this one could be another one but in this case it would be true

I dont know, the device alone dont look like it will achieve anything, in conjunction with a regular cage maybe yes but other challenges open up, like "what if i pull off a little the unit from my pelvis and make it go blind/dark?"

So this could be a fun toy but used with a regular cage/belt adding a more diverse playtime, otherwise i dont think it has any chance
 
If I worked really long and hard at it I’m sure I could think up a chastity related device that my wife would think is more useless than the Veru One. But, maybe not.
 
When you are in a pub quiz and you really want answer A to be true but have a lingering feeling it will be answer B...
I would love for this kind of technology to work and be available.

Their website looks so incredibly unprofessional to me with all the AI images, rendered content and highly likely AI generated texts (random check of some of their blog entries: Grammarly says "mixed AI content", Decopy says "highly confident AI generated", Scribbr says "67% of text is likely AI-generated", ... most people probably do not like these content poor text bubbles (at least my aspirations would be higher if I published such a site).
Maybe they have a virtual address between the notary, nail salon and tanning studio in Vegas. Who knows.
And maybe they will surprise me and everything turns out fine.

"caveat emptor", my legal friends would say.
