[BiBa]

There has been recently quite an increase in the haptic vests developments for gamers, which transmit haptic perceptions precisely to the body area affected in the game intercourse in real-time through sensors.

Here some brands going viral in the media:

Tesla suit

b-haptics

Hardlight VR

Subpac M2X

Woojer Strap

 

However, we, the virtual flight Simmers community should be intrigued in one aspect of haptic experience we definitely need: high altitude! The Pressure Equalization Suit!

 

Here is the Pneumatically-Actuated Force Jacket (YouTube Video)

 

It also can be used for different types of gaming experience, but I am not sure if DCS has embedded a digital output for the pressure facture hardware-sensors to be simulated in real time, but if not, the algorythm should be ready for use when this hardware is on the market.

 

The Force Jacket appeared in 2018 on the Web, but I could not trace any Implementation as a product for mass production. In case someone did and in case it is ready, that would be awesome; I will definitely look forward buying a Force Jacket as soon as it will available for an affordable price.
