A sensory-enhanced metaverse is a certainty as devices are created to provide full immersive experiences that will be as real as real life. This promises to completely re-wire a user’s brain to not be able to discern what is real or not. As the pornography industry adapts to the metaverse, perceived debauchery will be indistinguishable from the real thing. ⁃ TN Editor
CREEPY metaverse users could soon have the power to lunge in for a kiss thanks to new tech.’
As if the metaverse wasn’t bad enough with seedy strip clubs and naked avatars, experts want to take the realism a step further.
Scientists have created a device that brings a feeling sensation to the mouth, lips and tongue.
They pulled it off by adding a load of special ultrasonic transducers to a VR headset.
At the moment, the metaverse and VR is largely focussed on 360 visuals, sound and hand controls.
Although experts don’t show how it could be used to kiss, you can imagine how it might become a popular use case for virtual lovers.
Instead, they demonstrate the technology being used in various scenarios, such as a haunted adventure game with spiders.
Testers felt sensations on their lips as they walked through webs, creepy crawlers jumped up at their face, and even a sensory feeling from exploding spiders when you shoot them.
Other use cases mimic the sensation from drinking at a water fountain, sipping a coffee, brushing your teeth and even smoking a cigarette.
The clever tech is capable of simulating swipes and vibrations in and around your mouth that you would associate with each activity.
“Haptics boosts realism and immersion, and heightens user reactions,” researchers from Carnegie Mellon University said.
“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).
“That said, it is roughly comparable to that of vibration motors in handheld controllers and many mobile phones, but with more spatial expressivity.
“Nonetheless, we believe VR/AR systems should strive for greater realism, and future work is necessary to expand upon our work.”

How stupid can humans get, utterly ridiculous and they call that living life. They deserve to lose all their freedoms if this is the future they want.

The biggest profits on the internet are made from porn. At one time 40% of all profit was made from porn. Don’t know the stat today. The so-called metaverse is simply a nice word for advance PORN to profit from the on-going creepy people who have personal, often sick, fetishes.
The technocrats are securing their sick world of porn to go along with their sick politics of tyranny. No surprise there. What’s new?

Check also the netflix series Black Mirror. About 10 years ago this, and more was made public.
We must de-digitalize out children and turn then into real humans again. No smartphone, no games, no social media, but the real thing: personal interaction.
