Researchers Create VR Headset That Sends Sensations to the Mouth, Lips and Tongue

These vibrations can be felt on the teeth, tongue and lips.

The system doesn’t require users to affix anything to their mouths for haptic feedback.

The user then can shoot the spider and experience its guts splat across their mouth.

But for at least one user, simulating water with ultrasound was cognitively dissonant.

Still, participants largely preferred having mouth haptics versus not having it at all.

Right now the team is working on making the design smaller and lighter.
