Force-Feedback Vest on Kickstarter

ARAIG

Looks like there’s yet another virtual reality project on Kickstarter. Well, I guess this is not strictly a VR thing, but it certainly could be used as such. Basically the ARAIG is a vest that you wear while gaming, and it provides force-feedback when you are getting hit in the game. While it does include vibration (like current controllers), it also has direct stimulation with TENS, which could get pretty intense depending on how much power they are pumping through. I really think a vest like this can add a lot of immersion, specifically in first-person shooters. I backed the project at the $299 level, and I suggest anyone interested in VR with some cash to spare do the same. The creators still have a long way to go to reach their $900,000 goal, but you never know.
