Virtual Reality Company Helmet

Smell-O-Vision has arrived! Do you have your virtual reality helmet handy and so are you ready for the experiences you're about to get?

British scientists at York and Warwick Universities have produced a Virtual Reality Company helmet which, they say, can simulate all 5 of their human senses that it takes to make a real virtual image: taste, sense, sight, smell, and sound. In reality, they have renamed their version of Virtual Reality Company Company technologies, Real Virtuality. But the monster helmet that the Brit scientists have developed seems like it goes on a space suit. The model version of this Virtual Reality Company helmet is large, with a serious, front-mounted, surround-screen that is the high definition in its own output, producing images 30 times brighter or darker than the average television. A heating and fan system is installed to produce the sense of heat and humidity or cooling breezes.

This wireless system communicates with a computer to bring reality to this Virtual Reality Company helmet. Aside from the usual sight and auditory systems, the helmet comes equipped with a system to spray flavors to taste into the mouth of the user along with a scent dispenser to envelop the user in scents which would accompany anything is being undergone. Personally, I wouldn't mind the flowery scent of an Alpine meadow, but I would not care about the skunk which may come waddling my manner!
Thus, Smell-O-Vision is here, and it should be available in 5 decades, the scientists tell us at a price of approximately $2,200.00 USD.

In all seriousness, the British scientists feel that this Virtual Reality Company helmet, once elegant, will be advantageous to education, business and families the world over. Conference calls will seem like using a meeting in precisely the exact same room, even though participants might be on different continents. Imagine seeing and speaking to your grandparents, who are clear across the country, and being able to smell your grandmother's perfume? It will be like they were right there with you in your living room. And what about history? School kids would have the ability to use the VR helmet to visit ancient Rome or other historic places.

I am reminded of this film, Brainstorm. In this 1983 movie, Christopher Walken's character is a scientist, directly on the verge of using this kind of a Virtual Reality Company helmet. The consequences it's for military applications are, of course, scary, which becomes the plot of the film. That time is almost here!

The Virtual Reality Company helmet may look a bit cumbersome now, but I will wager, in five decades, they will have figured out how to streamline and alter it so that it will not seem like you would like to be an astronaut if you develop.
