Cool.

The idea of 'feeling' is intriguing. So say they used this and created a fighting game...you could come out of it feeling pretty rough I imagine. I am wondering how the brain would process these feelings with the knowledge that there is no real reason for the sensation?

Is it wrong for my mind to instantly think of the pornographic applications for this technology?

No. Quite the opposite.

There have been sensory suits out for years. Porn almost always seems to be the driving force behind tech improvements.
