The creative implementation of ultrasound in the new invention effectively allows a user to interact with a hologram at a tactile level, if the reports about this technology are to be believed.
It seems that the realm of adult entertainment may be in for some significant changes in the near future, thanks to a new advancement that lets a person interact with a digital projection on a physical level, the Daily Star reports.
According to the newspaper, a team of researchers from the University of Sussex led by Dr. Ryuji Hirayama has succeeded in creating holograms that can be touched, essentially producing “a true virtual reality” which one can experience without the need for special gloves and goggles.
And with the addition of ultra-sound, such a hologram emitter can apparently produce a “sensation on the skin that feels exactly like touch”.
And while this advancement may soon cause a veritable revolution in entertainment, the first field it will likely be applied is going to be “sex tech”, the newspaper suggests, arguing that the invention allows one to “not only create any person we desired, but any sex toy as well”.
