Menta-pix

Menta-pix was a type of Federation technology, a multi-sense virtual-reality communications system used in the 23rd century.

Specifics
The device consisted of a small, blue base unit about a foot tall, into which helmets could be connected. While worn, a helmet generated three-dimensional visual imagery as well as sensations for smell, sound and taste.

Recordings could be replayed through the equipment.

Uses
In 2266, Urey University assistant professor Barbara McCoy produced a menta-pix briefing which described how humanoid Bwujans survived after radioactive debris from a supernova incinerated the surface of their planet Bwuja circa 4400 BC.

McCoy brought her menta-pix recording to the Federation starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy experienced the recording prior to making contact with the Bwujans.
