Sometimes I rue my position as the PC Gamer hardware team honorary weirdo. Because while I'm naturally drawn to the unusual, the interesting, and the downright bizarre, it means I sometimes have to write about bits of tech that gross me out—and this VR-ready electronic tongue is doing just that.
A team of researchers at The Ohio State University have developed this monstro… interesting project to attempt to replicate realistic flavours for virtual reality experiences (via New Scientist). Essentially, open your mouth, insert this potentially gag-inducing electronic strip under your tongue, and delight in the experience of having artificially-flavoured hydrogels pumped into your most sensitive of areas.
