Feel a Virtual Punch, Gunshot with FPS Vests
I’m no gamer. It’s not that I don’t like playing video/PC games. I guess I just don’t make enough time for them, and—alright—I suck at them. But if I were really into gaming, I probably wouldn’t surprise anyone if I wore these 3rd Space FPS Vests from TN Games. Designed by a physician (who apparently was going to use it for medical exams via telepresence, according to Coolest Gadgets), the vests simulate the impact of punches, gunshots, stabbing, and other bodily harm from a FPS (first person shooter) game.
The vest is said to feature eight pressure areas in which to feel these simulations, and you’re also able to feel the touch of another player in the game. Now that’s creepy.
Look for the 3rd Space FPS Vest in November for $189, but the company is currently taking preorders for just $169. It will ship with an air compressor, USB cable, power supply and 3rd Space Incursion PC game.
I don’t know about you, but isn’t this going a little too far?
