new way to sense

Did aybody see this new gadget.It looks like it could be used to do some amazing things.
I wonder when we are going to get smellovision.

It looks like an electrical hazard in its current form (note the exposed electronics and wires). Also, is it just force feedback or can it give you a sense of feeling texture, temperature, and softness as well?

Ultimately, you’ll get this type of sensory information from a helmet-like device that beams the correct info into the correct regions of the brain. Actually tricking the brain into thinking its receiving valid sensory information will be the holy grail of this part of virtual reality.

It is force feedback.You can only feel the size of the object.
