Hi dear @jdkennedy.

These interesting approaches that you make to us may seem like a plot out of a science fiction movie, but they are so real and current that anyone could be surprised at the high progress that technology has made on this subject.

As you explained, involving taste and smell would be the limits to be reached in the coming years. But in terms of vision, hearing and touch there are great advances.

Virtual reality, augmented reality and imersive reality are proof of that.

Investigating a little I could meet "Basis Neuro". This technology created a Headset for brain-machine communications and brain stimulation.
It is possible to control everyday devices only with our brain waves.

All best, Piotr.
