Virtual Reality Gets Taste!!

Unbelievable!! We have virtual reality devices that can simulate vision, hearing, touch, and smell. Now a professor and his colleagues at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have developed a food simulator. The device goes into your mouth and simulates the force required to chew a piece of food, the chemicals needed to taste the food, and audible vibrations of chewing the food. The next phase of the simulator is to add a vaporizer to deliver the smell of food.
