Scientists from the Universities of York and Warwick have developed the first Virtual Reality system that allows users to see, hear, smell taste and even touch. The prototype will be presented at Pioneers 09', an EPSRC showcase event to be held at London's Olympia Conference Centre on March 4 If the prototype can really do what it promises, it can have widespread applications in education, business, medical visualization and cybertherapy .
