Haptic/feedback and virtual reality

[Frowg]

So, virtual reality with a haptic feedback suit allows one to experience different touch sensations in virtual reality. Apple is apparently trying to patent haptic socks or shoes. Question: Would you be excited to enter a virtual reality environment in which you could tickle/be tickled by other users? What if other users could tickle you without consent? What if you could adjust the level of sensory stimulus? What if you could control permissions of who can touch you and who can't? Suits available now can cost upwards of 20k. Would you ever consider paying for the experience?

If I had the $, definitely!

It would have to be some killer sensation to pay for that. Most hepatic feedback just feels like thumps and vibrations.

This is never going to happen. Meta has "personal space enforcement" options because a couple people pitched a fit when other users got too close to their avatar.

That is good to know.
