Developed a VR headset capable of transmitting kiss and touch sensations

American scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new VR technology.

The technology assumes that the VR headset will send sound energy into the user’s mouth, forming haptic feedback. The system does not require the user to hold an object in their mouth – the signals are transmitted through the bones of the skull and ultrasound.

Thanks to the development, users of virtual reality helmets will be able to feel the imitation of touch, wave and vibration. Both the teeth and the tongue with the lips can feel all this.

Thus, players will be able to feel a virtual kiss, gusts of wind, as well as the processes of drinking water from a fountain, smoking cigarettes or brushing their teeth.

The technology will be used in the Oculus Quest 2 gaming helmet, developed by Meta.

According to the developers, the technology immerses users even more in virtual reality.
