It is not just 'existing' in VR it is having the tactile sensation to feel it now!
[h=1]Teslasuit: This Full Body Suit Lets You Feel Virtual Reality[/h]A UK based company elevates the VR experience with an EMS integrated suitthat lets users feel the VR environment they are in.
[h=5]Virtual World[/h]The ‘Teslasuit,’ a wireless suit created by a UK based company, claimsthat their invention can allow users to feel sensations in the virtualworld. If the prototype is brought to the market, it could revolutionize theworld of entertainment.
Ultimately, the device works by using integrated EMS(Electro Muscular Stimulation). The range can vary—from a gentlebreeze to the impact of a speeding bullet…the latter may not sound like aterribly enjoyable experience, but of course, it is simulating the sensation(not giving you the full on experience). The team hopes that combining EMS withVR will deliver a more interactive experience for users.
Technically speaking, the Teslasuit is a series of sensors that allowthe user to feel the sensation of movements in the virtual reality space.Different wearable accessories, called modules, are available separately. Themodules include the T-Belt, the T-Glove, and a jumpsuit known as the “SmartTextile.” However, when added together, they function like a suit.
To date, VR headsets focus on deliveringa visual experience; what’s largely missing is feedback from thevirtual world that translates the VR experience into tactile sensation.That’s where the Teslasuit comes in, by stimulating the muscles inresponse to whatever action was taken, or stimuli was provided from thevirtual environment, individuals and see and touch anotherworld.
The suit is powered by Quad Core 1GHz processor and 1GB RAM with a10000 mAh battery that runs on a proprietary OS, called Tesla OS. You cansee a video of reports and experts in the field testing the tech below (clickon the YouTube button to see more test videos).
[h=5]Virtual Experience[/h]Using EMS fed to the body’s nervous system via a skintight suit, thelatest prototype can simulate a of a sense of touch or pressure. Meaningthat, if someone in the virtual world taps you or pokes you, you will feelit in real time. Recently, the technology was demonstrated in a TVdocumentary where the subject was able to ‘feel’ a hug from a motioncaptured demonstrator across the room.
In addition to its EMS feedback, the suit is also equipped withtemperature controls that allows it to simulate temperature changes inorder to mimic the environment in VR more accurately. It is also capableof capturing the user’s body motion once the Mocap unit is fitted into thetechnology.
The team behind the device claims that the system will be compatiblewith all available VR headsets. And you can preorder one now on the company website. Butit will set you back a cool $1,499.
