#AR #VR #metaverse possible use cases, enhanced by chemical haptics, touch, smell & accelerometers. Corporate metaverse experiments in @TheSandboxGame & Elden Ring trickery.
Michael and Michael start of this week’s episode with a series of mixed reality and metaverse possibilities. The videos . Making the virtual experience even more immersive is possible by incorporating touch and smell. The team of Jasmine Lu, Ziwei Liu, Jas Brooks and Pedro Lopes have put together a paper on how the sense of touch can be used to give a feeling of cooling, warming and more. Check out the summary of their work on Chemical Haptics in the show notes. OVR Technology has a similar wearable that leverages the users’ sense of smell. Michael and Michael speculate how these could be combined together to give a feeling of heat and the smell of burning. A third example comes from Audi, who are bringing their Holoride technology to market this summer, to create virtual experiences for passengers in moving vehicles.
HSBC stakes out a claim in The Sandbox for their metaverse experience, which reminds the co-hosts of older 3D Internet experiences. An ingenious player creatively masquerades as a non-player character (NPC) in Elden Ring.
