When it comes to replicating "reality", I thought smell would be the toughest thing to get right.

I agree. Smells like chocolate and grape I'd assume would be easy to copy, but they aren't. They always smell wretched and end up reminding me of car fresheners, or porn stores :P

Similar to a concept used in some therapies for treating extreme trauma, PTSD a few of which even shown a high success rate in treating Viet Nam vets. This could have some very beneficial applications.

That's an amazing point :)

I must have Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' confused with something else, I thought Ben Afleck was in it.

*snorts* (loudly) No idea why. For some reason when I read that, picturing him in that movie popped into my head....and was hilarious.
