Aldous Huxley's vision of ‘feelies’ — cinema with sensations — could, according to Daedalus, become a reality. He's developing a way to stimulate individual nerve fibres, allowing ‘virtual sensations’ to be superimposed on the normal sensory traffic of the nervous system. Such virtual sensation could turn out to be useful in teaching trainee cooks what a too-sticky cake mix feels like, or training doctors to detect a fast pulse.
