could this be used for advertisements in public locations? people sit on the chair and it transmits a picture of a burger to their mind, and they want a burger. etc.

Could you please show how this chair delivers “high-definition”????

Previous reports on Bach-y-Rita’s research were low resolution . . . capable of discerning basic shapes like diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts in b/w directly on the taste buds of the tongue.

Even the raster photographed on the back of this chair would seem to indicate low resolution. We would be pleased to hear that high-def chairs were in the pipeline, but are inclined to question this claim.
