When hand force feedback isn’t enough, there comes the 3rdSpace Feedback Vest. No longer are you relegated to feeling your hand wiggle, you can now have shot gun blast hit your chest. Or maybe you will really like to feel that body slam! What’s next, actual gun shots?
All kidding aside, this device would be very cool to demo. So, what’s the cost on this bad boy? How about $170? Now, that cost does include some additional games. So, is $170 a small enough cost for you to enjoy being pummeled in a video game? My guess is that most people will pass on this kind of cost for the realism unless they are die hard Call of Duty type fans. Here is the product details from the product page:
“This kit includes the FPS Vest and 3rd Space Incursion game for the PC. The FPS Vest is an impact-generating device designed to enable you to feel the game’s action for the ultimate gaming experience. It contains eight active zones that simulate the direction and forces of bullet fire, crushing explosions, and fear-inducing finger taps as they occur in the game. The FPS Vest is bundled with 3rd Space Incursion, a futuristic first person shooter game embedded with 3rd Space technology and developed to showcase the FPS Vest.
