    that’s interesting. slightly creepy too? but still interesting and good that it should be harmless and non-invasive.

    If I learned anything from Nickelodeon, it’s that swinging a 360 on a swing set will allow others to see your organs.

    This is profoundly interesting and I’m sure will have massively positive medical uses

      It’s the amount difference that makes it dangerous. We’d need a lot in order to make our skin transparent, much more than you’d get drinking mountain dew

      The human body needs salt, but all things in moderation.

    I’m a nurse, sometimes I can’t see or feel the vein for putting an IV. So this would be very handy

      They mention it’s not toxic or invasive, and it probably isn’t painful, either. Though, it would probably freak the mice out

    Doesnt yellow 5 cause cancerous tumors?

    • @lourdespachla6516

      September 15, 2024 at 1:52 am

      Everything causes cancerous tumors, jessica, yellow 5 is safe according to the FDA in the quantities used in snacks and stuff, everything WILL harm you, even yourself(you are slowly eating yourself every time you burn fat)

    In middle school (2003ish) yellow 5 was rumored to make your dick smaller and was an ingredient in Mountain Dew.. Now I am wondering if it just made a few inches transparent…

The 1980s cemented the role of the home video game console. By the early 1990s, gamers wanted to take their experience to the next level by harnessing physics and haptic feedback into a wearable gaming vest called the Aura Interactor… or did they?!

The lure of cymatics and the excitement of 90s tech experimentation generated a haptic vest that supposedly let you feel all the action of your favorite games, but the reality of the Aura Interactor was on a spectrum of kinda-sorta-cool to annoying. What started out as a premium, expensive product that would fully immerse gamers into the fantastic worlds of legendary video games would turn into a clearance rack staple.

What went so wrong with such a unique idea? How did pieces of the 1980s Star Wars Missile Defense program wind up in the annals of retro technology and retro gaming? And why does it feel like I keep getting kicked in the back?!
