Metaverse, as a virtual world where people will be able to live out their dreams and fantasies. In a new series of advancements, scientists have develope a technology which allows a person to ‘Feel’ someone virtually.
This new technology has made possible by adding a load of special ultrasonic transducers to a VR headset.
This technology is capable of simulating swipes and vibrations in and around the mouth that you would associate with each activity.
It reportedly uses a thin array of transducers integrate into the underside of the VR headset that direct ultrasound energy at different parts of the mouth.
As well as sensations, this technology could be use to drink from a virtual water fountain or take a puff from a cigarette.
This new headset, which is an adapt Oculus Quest 2, has develop by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Researchers Said :
“Haptics boost realism and immersion and heightens user reactions. Although we demonstrated a range of haptic effects, the vocabulary of sensations is still limited compared to that of the real world (a high bar),”.
“Nonetheless, we believe VR/AR systems should strive for greater realism, and future work is necessary to expand upon our work,”.
But if this technology becomes popular, it can help lonely hearts around the world to experience love and affection on demand for sure.
