The headset that will mimic all five senses and make virtual world as convincing as real life | Mail Online

The headset that will mimic all five senses and make virtual world as convincing as real life | Mail Online


A virtual reality helmet that recreates the sights, smells, sounds and even tastes of far-flung holiday destinations has been devised by British scientists.

Armchair travellers wearing the device will be able to hear the roar of lions on safari, smell the flowers of an Alpine meadow or feel the heat of the Caribbean sun on their face - all from the comfort of their sitting room.

The device will also allow people to greet friends and family on the other side of the world as if they were in same room, and to immerse themselves in fantasy worlds.

I can't wait either. Good thing I am starting a better paying job soon, I have a lot of things I want to buy now that prices are good.

I have really strong opinions about silly things that I can validate using the strongest social theory, like why you should not watch Sex in the City or how the Simpsons promotes democracy.
