There's now another element to add to your VR experience.
This startup has created a device that is meant to "drastically heighten" your VR game -- by letting you experience elements like heat, cold -- and even pain.
SEE ALSO:Chemistry lessons go high-tech with this amazing VR programThe ThermoReal, created by TEGway -- a spin-off of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology -- is a thermo-electric device that can go from 4 to 40°C (39.2 to 104°F), according to a report by Engadget.

Here's how the device would work in real life:
So if you're wandering through a flame in a VR game, you'll feel heat build up in your hand.
Or if you jump into a freezing cold lake, that sensation of coldness will start to spread across your palms accordingly.

It might be a while before this is actually adopted by VR manufacturers, but we're looking to experience heat, cold -- though maybe not pain -- in our future games.
