We won't need to go outside if these haptic tricksters have their way

Having spent years obsessing over headset pixel counts, the VR industry is now playing with exoskeletal gloves, ultrasound waves and even electric shocks in order to simulate a sense of touch.

And have they solved the headset pixels or nasty nausea some users experience yet?

I'm going to assume all these 'holodeck handshandy' (or 'realistic feel of snowflakes on the piste' for those who put a lesser value on the trouserial VR experience) are not worth as much without a visual you can put up with for any length of time without becoming a surprise Exocist themed shower for unwitting passersby.

Comfy chair, warm liquer, inch or more thick novel and roaring fire for me too...
