Thumbs Up First Virtual Reality Technology To Let You See, Hear, Smell, Taste And Touch

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0304091227.htm

ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2009) — The first virtual reality headset that can stimulate all five senses has been developed. What was it really like to live in Ancient Egypt? What did the streets there actually look, sound and smell like? For decades, Virtual Reality has held out the hope that, one day, we might be able visit all kinds of places and periods as 'virtual' tourists.
I'm particularly interested in the practical development of smellavision:

"Smell will be generated electronically via a new technique being pioneered by Alan Chalmers and his team at Warwick which will deliver a pre-determined smell recipe on-demand. Taste and smell are closely linked but we intend to provide a texture sensation relating to something being in the mouth. Tactile devices will provide touch."

I don't know about you but I'm not really looking forward to smelling someone's jizz.

That could be a problem. Though perhaps you could just make it so that everything smells like peaches or something.

Nice and all, but you know the graphics for that thing are shit atm. Any "simulator" that is not a game, always looks fucking terrible like quake 1.

It is gonna be awesome when it is perfected though. People will starve to death because they forget to feed themselves since the game will seem so life like they never get off.

This...

This is like discovering a ray gun in a stone-age human's fossilised hand.
