Tactile Gaming Vest

Are your moves on the virtual battlefield second to none? Are you a l33t 360 no-scoping bastard thirsting for a new challenge? If so, check out this new Tactile Gaming Vest…we’ll see how cool you are when you can actually feel the impact of the virtual bullets.

TGV is a haptic feedback device designed to increase the immersiveness of first- and third-person shooter games. The vest includes a multitude of solenoids, eccentric-mass motors, and Peltier elements controlled by custom electronics and a personal computer. When the player’s character experiences injury in the game, the vest simulates the appropriate sensation (bullet hit, vibration, and/or heat) in the correct location on the player’s body.
