Get Shot with Gaming Vest

Getting shot in real life is not fun, but for video gamers, Gaming Vest might provide the virtual reality they’ve been looking for:

You won’t feel pain, of course, and the sensations definitely won’t be rendered truly faithfully, since the technology basically converts audio into tactile feedback, as strange as it sounds. Meaning, whatever sound that was produced in-game is converted into touch. The more “3D” it is, the better the haptic feedback. The bullets will certainly make you feel a kick or constant hammering on your chest if you get showered with a machine gun. You can even set the intensity of the KOR-FX if the kick is too strong, or too weak.

The method is called 4DFX technology. And no, the vest isn’t just a fancy rumble pack, as it doesn’t use spinning motors to produce vibrations. It genuinely creates the sensation of touch from brushing past an extended fir branch, or the ghost feeling of a kick to the gut.

The Immerz KOR-FX still has to go through a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign before it goes up for sale. Interested gamers can pledge $150 / €110 in order to be the first to receive this amazing apparel
