Thank you for today's prompt. The prompt and 5 minutes led me to an interesting future of virtual eating.
“I’d like you to meet August Hendrix, our lead developer in the companies virtual reality emersion program.”
“A pleasure to meet you Ms. Hendrix.”
“And you sir. Allow me to give you a tour of our facilities. This is the emersion chamber.” August points to a large tank filled with a pinkish liquid.”The chamber is filled with a special substance we developed called Lifeline. Lifeline both protects and nourishes the subjects physical body while emersed in the chamber.”
“You mean the subject eats the liquid.”
“Not exactly sir, Lifeline is designed for its nutrients to be absorbed through human skin. This allows the subject to remain emerged in the VR world for as long as they like, without the need to tubular feeding or excrement extraction. Within the lifeline liquid are nanobots and sensors, if the subject decides to eat in VR, they will have the taste and sensation of eating food. “
“You mean I can order and eat a steak at a VR restaurant?”
“Yes sir, although we are still unable to simulate the body feeling full or stuffed after a meal.”
