    This is seriously cool stuff. I love that folks are working on bringing more of our senses into media play. It'll be interesting to see how they eventually come up with electronically induced smell, taste, and grumbling stomach.
    The other cool thing about this technology? The pitter-patter of tiny elephant feet running around on the palm of your hand.

    @evildead1971: Double Nerd Attempt:
    Unless I am mistaken, that is the episode where they had removed memories from The Dr because he chose to save Harry instead of another crewmember because he knew and liked Harry - since there was no medical reason to decide which to save. Guilt was driving him crazy.

    Hopefully android technology will advance quicker than tactile holography technology, so that when Moriarty does show up, we'll be able to call upon Commander Data.
