Of all the senses I could experience in a VR environment, smell would be my last choice.

Well they're already close to releasing first prototype versions of touch in vr with the hydraulic? gloves to simulate touch. There's a few different companies that have come to similar approach. Plus there's the vr treadmills to simulate movement/touching the ground.

We already have sight, sound.

Now that smell has been thought up, how would they implement taste? I feel like we wouldn't be able to attempt this until we have full vr like sao. Honestly can't see it happening unless we get an implant. Maybe once smellvr has progressed, they can trick us into tasting with smells?

All in all, I would say taste would be the last thing I would want. I don't want someone in vr trolling me by tossing crap at me when I'm talking 🤣
