<ul><li>Engineers from South Korea’s Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology have developed the Flip-Pelt wearable device for ultra-fast thermal feedback in VR.</li><li>The device uses Peltier elements to create heating and cooling effects on the user's skin.</li><li>Instead of reversing the thermal transfer, the device physically swaps the side of the elements that touch the skin.</li><li>The device contains eight Peltier elements controlled by servo motors and an Arduino board, allowing for instant changes in perceived temperature.</li></ul>
