Topic: Sony controls people's minds with new technology?

[Dryden]

Apparently, this has been going on since 2000 - but it's news to me:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18624944.600

The article basically talks about Sony patenting a technology that has amazing effects in the medical field - giving the blind their sight back, that kind of thing.  But of course, Sony wants to develop it for their video game industry... so presumably, you can smell, what, bloody zombies?  It's a weird development, one that probably shouldn't be implemented.

Here's a post from Patadox about it:

"Imagine the effects in a game like Narc, where giving your in-game character drugs is like a power-up.  Except, under the new technology, you could actually feel the wonder that is illegal drug use without leaving your home - and using a bad drug trip to fuel a rampage against citizens in Narc's setting.  Great."
