Theoretical Technology from Sony

According to Linix Insider, Sony has patented a new theoretical technology based on neurological sensory stimulation of the human brain, allowing touch, taste and smell in a virtual sense. However, according to Gartner's Reynolds, it is unlikely that Sony will have a product based on the patent within its 17-year applicability!

Sony can't tell anyone what the technology really is. There's no prototype, nothing except the idea to show. The idea is that they plan to create a noninvasive brain interface for computer gaming.

Well, at least there's something to say for the flipside of the brain interface to the computer - simulated feedback to the brain. Put these 2 together, make them work and our individual ideal little worlds can become a reality.
