Perfect virtual reality technology needs to be faked on all senses. So, at the moment, are we doing that?
Visual effect, we have high configuration VR glasses
Hearing, users can use VR 3D headphones
In terms of touch, a variety of controllers and feedback devices have become closer to human habits.
Even in terms of smell, similar products have appeared.
Then the question comes, how to solve the eating problem (taste) that the foodies are most concerned about? The same taste and taste can't satisfy these discerning users. But now researchers have found the right solution - electrical stimulation.
At present, the technology can not achieve the use of electrical signals to access the nervous system, but this VR program simulates people's muscle movement and perception through electrical stimulation, and still allows everyone to experience the feeling of eating:
The researchers placed the electrodes on the muscles that the user needed to chew, and let the muscles alternately contract and relax by electrical stimulation, which can approximate the taste of the food.
Simulated into a lollipop with an electrode-mounted spoon, the user can feel different flavors through different currents. These effects have been realized in the laboratory.
Electrical stimulation simulates VR chewing effect
What is the VR taste? Please forgive me for being too frank. Most people know that potato chips and cola are not good for the body, but they can't control their mouth when they eat. In the VR world, players may eat these delicious foods. In reality, they may just eat green food or even “northwest windâ€. It is easier and easier to lose weight. For food allergic friends, in virtual reality. You can eat it without a psychological burden!
If the VR taste technology is mature, I believe that everyone will become a lightning bolt with the help of virtual reality. However, do you really dare to come to the virtual reality to call a battery?
