Manipulating the thalamus

Because the thalamus regulates all sensory information(besides olfactory), along with intentional movement, could manipulating the thalamus with an inject-able mesh, similar to the one created by Liber Researchers, successfully create a matrix-like virtual reality? If not, then why?

We're not good at getting information back to the brain yet.

 

Replicating all the senses accurately would probably pose the biggest issue.
