Sony's New Patent

[Gryph]

PlayStation maker Sony Corp (SNE.N). has been granted a patent for beaming sensory information directly into the brain.

 

The technique could one day be used to create videogames in which you can smell, taste, and touch, or to help people who are blind or deaf.

It's a cheap scam so that Sony can manipulate people into buying all their products.

Just imagine when some crazy kidnaps some guy and attaches him to "THE PAIN SIMULATOR 5000" homedev game for the Playstation 6.

wow sooo yummmy.... i will be playing videogames till the day i die....speaking of which, i wonder if something like that could fry your brain or make you less aware of your senses

[Weirdy]

reminds me of that thing The Riddler made on Batman Forever that did almost the same thing

First thing that entered my mind after reading this...PLaying soul calibur and having sophitia do some of her throws

I think in the near future, it'll be very much possible just like the book entitled, " Kilobyte." Being able to play in a virtual environment just like Unreal Tournament/Quake/Counterstrike is definitely an outbreak of video games.

I think playing any game with attractive women in the mind can lead to something more then just a throw.

A Resident Evil game would be wierd. How would they simulate having something chewing on your neck, or having your head cut off with a chainsaw?
