The ‘Teslasuit,’
a wireless suit created by a UK based company, claims that their invention can
allow users to feel sensations in the virtual world. If the prototype is
brought to the market, it could revolutionize the world of entertainment. Ultimately,
the device works by using integrated EMS (Electro Muscular Stimulation). The
range can vary, from a gentle breeze to the impact of a speeding bullet. The
team hopes that combining EMS with VR will deliver a more interactive
experience for users. Technically speaking, the Teslasuit is a series of
sensors that allow the user to feel the sensation of movements in the virtual
reality space.
Different
wearable accessories, called modules, are available separately. The modules
include the T-Belt, the T-Glove, and a jumpsuit known as the ‘Smart Textile’. To
date, VR headsets focus on delivering a visual experience; what’s largely
missing is feedback from the virtual world that translates the VR experience
into tactile sensation. That’s where the Teslasuit comes in, by stimulating the
muscles in response to whatever action was taken, or stimuli was provided from
the virtual environment, individuals and see
and touch another world. The suit is powered by Quad Core 1GHz processor
and 1GB RAM with a 10000 mAh battery that runs on a proprietary OS, called
Tesla OS.
