TACTILE VIRTUAL REALITY, another important first. "It could be the first step towards truly immersive virtual reality, where you can feel the computer-generated world around you." " " http://lnkd.in/gigUvc View in LinkedIn

VIRTUAL SENSATION. "Someday in the near future, quadriplegic patients will take advantage of this technology not only to move their arms and hands and to walk again, but also to sense the texture of objects placed in their hands, or experience the nuances of the terrain on which they stroll with the help of a wearable robotic exoskeleton.""

REMOTE SENSORY EXPERIENCE (WOW!!)."The possibility of sharing our sensory data to the cloud is an interesting concept. For example, we can feel what others feel in a vacation spot in Hawaii. We can see what a mountain climber see's when they reach the top of a mountain peak. Or we can connect to all of someones sensory data and completely immerse ourselves in someone else's reality.""

DIGITZING THE SENSES using wearable accessories to simulate smell and taste. "The lab is interested in multi-sensory communication research involving digital transmission of taste and smell over the internet." This is quite distinct from the gadgets that release scent samples from cartridges from a device, or making your smartphone sense smells (both done).

SMELL LAYS DEEP MEMORIES. "Importantly, the olfactory cortex is embedded within the brain’s limbic system and amygdala, where emotions are born and emotional memories stored. That’s why smells, feelings and memories become so easily and intimately entangled"." " http://lnkd.in/bsj-Axq View in LinkedIn

OLFACTION has at least 1,000 genes, and. "these receptors...crop up all over our bodies. In 2003, bitter taste receptors were found in sperm... scent receptors in the kidney, biologists ... identified sour receptors in the spine... Papers... reported sweet taste receptors in the bladder and the gut, bitter taste receptors in the sinuses, airways, pancreas and brain, and scent receptors in muscle tissue... our bodies are “smelling” and “tasting” things deep inside of us, and that these abilities are crucial to our health". http://lnkd.in/b4XiePB View in LinkedIn

"2D GIRLFRIEND" is what the Japanese call an online romance, but advances in digitizing sensation may add the third dimension in ways that boggle the mind. This is more than vibrating chairs. " " http://lnkd.in/bAQ6xN6 View in LinkedIn

SENSING ANOTHER BODY was implicit in the recent experiments where two rats were connected by brain sensors to solve simple problems. One rat was aware of the nerve impulses of the other's whiskers. How far can this "second body sensation" go? View in LinkedIn

GOOGLE NOSE April fool's joke was not far out. "mobile aroma indexing program" at the heart of the product has amassed a "15 million scentibyte database of smells from around the world." Humm." " http://lnkd.in/bQxUssv View in LinkedIn

HAPTOGRAM: imitating the sense of touch (U-Tube video), not through accessing deep touch memories. Katherine J. Kuchenbecker answers this question with a resounding ‘yes’. Katherine researches the design, control and performance of robotic systems that enable a user to touch virtual objects and distant environments as though they were real and within reach. These interfaces combine electromechanical sensors, actuators and computer control, allowing for technology that can fool the human sense of touch." http://wp.me/p3laXO-5b via @olivierlehe View in LinkedIn
