TN Game's 3rd Space Vest, designed by physician Mark Ombrellaro, is
based on a earlier medical instrument that permitted doctors to carry
out distance based investigations. As if there could be an even better
use, Dr. Ombrellaro has modified the vest so gamers will be able to
feel gaming impacts, such as punches and shots, by means of alternating
air pressures that will simulate the sensations.
The gaming
peripheral will consist of eight zones, all of which will be able to
direct appropriate force to accurately simulate a plethora of
sensations, including bullet fire, explosions, punches and even finger
taps. The device will be released in November, retailing at $189 and
will come bundled with two games, 3rd Space Incursion and a special
edition of Call of Duty II. The TN Game online shop is currently taking
pre-orders at $169.99 saving 20 bills on the final price post release.
Patches will be made available for Quake3/4 and Doom 3 compatibility
and an SDK kit will be released for developers.
Future
revisions are already being planned. The next release will hope to
replicate G-forces to add that little extra to speed orientated gaming.
We may have fluked a win against Kotaku, but we are not so sure we are
up to risking bruising to our sculpted blogging physiques for the sake
of a realistic gaming experience.
