How To Hug a Chicken Via the Internet 96
the_newsbeagle writes "Adrian Cheok, a professor of electrical engineering in Japan, wants to invent a "multisensory Internet" that will transmit not just information, but also experiences. To usher in this new age, he started by building a haptic system that enabled him to send a hug to a chicken via the Internet. Next came the 'huggy pajama' project, which allowed distant parents to send their kid a goodnight squeeze. Lately he's begun working on sending a taste over the internet with his 'digital lollypop' project."

I'm just waiting for such a technology as that lollipop to actually take off, so I can read about hackers replacing the digital data for the flavor information with that harvested from a turd.
That's some prankstering hacking I would roffle reading.
