The Virtual Cocoon engages all five senses. All we are missing is the hover chair and slurpy food, and the movie "Wall-E" will have to be reclassified as "Non-Fiction".
A virtual reality helmet that recreates the sights, smells, sounds and even tastes of far-flung destinations has been devised by British scientists.
The device will allow users a life-like experience of places such as Kenya's Masai Mara while sitting on their sofa.
They can also enjoy the smell of flowers in an Alpine meadow or feel the heat of the Caribbean sun on their face.
...
Scientists say the device will also enable users to greet friends and family on the other side of the world as though they were in the same room.
And students will even be able to find out what it was like to live in ancient Egypt, Rome or Greece.
Previously, scientists have only been able to use virtual reality technology to recreate sound and vision.
Now a team of British academics from York and Warwick universities are creating a virtual reality helmet they are calling the Virtual Cocoon.
They say it stimulates the senses so convincingly they have called the experience Real Virtuality...

They need to find a way to project experiences directly into the brain.
To the brain there is no difference between a hallucinated feeling or action and a real feeling or action.
Then THE MATRIX will have to be reclassified as non-fiction.

this has to be one of the stupidest ideas in the stupidest ideas of the world. Anyone who has visited a foreign spot knows nothing but actually visiting can you experience the events around you,. This contraction will not give you the thrill the first time you enter Red Square and see St. Basil's or anywhere you go or the people.
