Japanese scientists figure out how to let you taste in virtual reality

 Breaking through the veil, we are slowly simulating our senses, digitally, through the internet.  First, our voices, then our images.  Next, scientists say, taste.

Tokyo-based researchers have figured out that by stimulating your jaw and mouth with electrodes, it can actually simulate the sensation of taste.

In the experimentation, users noticed that the senses would seem spicy when the device would get warmer and minty when it was cooler.

By places electrodes on the jaw, texture is also simulated.  This can give the effect of hardness or chewiness.

 Not only could this new for of sensory feedback help people break addictions, it can make our virtual reality intensely more realistic.
