The metaverse was terrifying enough already.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University built a device that can create sensations on your lips in virtual reality. One of the creators of the device says that it would be much better suited for creating the illusion of being in a lonely heart than it was for simulation of kissing.
It's not possible to make a giant ball of feeling.
The device's inventors claim it could help train dentists and orthodontists, even if it sounds like something out of a bad dream.
The device works by bombarding the lower half of your face with harmless waves from 64 tiny transducers, which build up enough pressure that it actually dents your skin.
She said it felt like a tiny vibrating node in space.
There are some limitations to the device. The device won't be able to generate enough force to mimic a sucker punch or slap for better or worse.
It can mimic the sensation of taking a sip of coffee, a cigarette, or brushing your teeth, as demonstrated in a video.
It will probably be a while until we see consumer products using the technology. If the developers of the Silent Hill franchise ever get hold of this tech, it will be a creative way to bring some of our most terrifying nightmares to life.
The Daily Beast reported on a new virtual reality device that lets people feel water fountains, mud, and crawling bugs.
