metaverse has already been called a 'Wild West' of Internet dangers.Although metaverse platforms like Horizon Worlds and VRChat have many polite, decent users, they've attracted plenty of criticism for enabling widespread sexual harassment, racism, and even grooming.Now, things could be about to get even more real thanks to a new 'haptic' gadget which lets users feel sensations on their lips and face.The tech mounts on a VR headset and is designed to let testers feel the sensation of drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, or even having a spider crawl across your face in virtual reality.Some clever sensors send a series of vibrations and swipes across users' mouths depending on the activity.

While the gadget is not expressly designed for actions like kissing, other tools are, such as that created by a Japanese engineer which lets you kiss CGI pop stars using 'gummy' robot lips.
