These slip into any shoe and send minor electrical pulses to different nerve endings of the foot to simulate sensations like walking on grass, in cool water, on marble etc. If you have to wear shoes they can at least be multi-functional for extra comfort.

You could certainly send differing electric shocks to represent different surfaces. The question would be how easily you could correlate the two *and* how much it would feel like a form of torture rather than a handy, informative platform. |
