Teslasuit, the Full Body Haptic Feedback VR Suit, Wins the Red Dot Design Award

Mar 25th, 2019 08:27 Discuss (27 Comments)

If you've heard of Teslasuit, you've likely felt some sort of interest towards it. As well you should: the ideal of a full body suit with haptic feedback for VR experiences is enough for some of us - at least those with the hero, "I'll never get hit by any bullet" complex. Add to the full body haptic feedback capabilities such as full body motion tracking embedded into the suit, as well as localized temperature controls for transmitting heat and cold sensations, and... There's also biometric feedback built in for usage patterns and engagement ratio, to aid developers in their data collecting. Well, can I hear Ready Player One, anyone?

The company behind the Tesla suit have just announced that their product won the Red Dot: Best of the Best, the top distinction in the competition. It is granted for groundbreaking design and goes to the best products in a category. The Teslasuit is now available for distribution as a development kit, and features dedicated software, documentation, API integration with Unreal Engine, Unity, and Motion Builder.

I see a female and a male in the pics. Hmmm... wonder if there is an anatomical difference between those two suits in the ... haptic feedback nature?

Which is probably one of many factors VR has not gained mainstream popularity. Some gamers are just physically incapable of lifting their fat ass off their chair/bed/couch

I'm not surprised it seems like it was launched/demoed/tested/whatever in Japan, for some reason :laugh:

I know many-many moons ago Novint was working on a similar suit prototype (upper body only), but I guess after closing doors and selling some IP to oculus/FB some of its legacy leaked out to third-party companies.

Big butt - check
Tight cleavage - check

I'm actually surprised the fella in the pic doesn't sport a big bulge in crotch area, you know, just to satisfy everyone.

A friend of mine wrote a master's thesis on Wii-related injuries. I helped with statistics and seen figures she gathered from hospitals.
Sad.

If you google "wii injuries" you'll see it was a pretty popular topic a decade ago.

Anyone notice in the first picture the height difference between the two models and the second picture they are exactly the same height.
