ARAIG- The Gaming suit

"Experience the next level of gaming. Finally you get to feel what you've only been able to see."

ARAIG- The Gaming suit

As Real as it Gets (ARAIG) uses 3 forms of sensory feedback: surround sound, vibration and STIMS. Surround sound is pretty straightforward: speakers are built in the suit so we can hear the sound even we wear the suit. Vibration is pretty much standard controller vibration, but over your whole body and much more concise (the developer gives the example of "a high powered sniper rifle might create a very strong impact at one location while a plasma rifle might create an average impact at a particular location and then spread out across the body."


STIMS is a unique aspect of the ARAIG device, using sensory stimulation "to contract particular muscles". The initial design focuses on the pectorals and abdominal muscles, and can create everything from a tingling sensation as if something which hurts the player in game. If you're worried that this might be beyond your pain threshold, IFTech assures us that the ARAIG is FDA approved and also no need to worry about it , it will not make us feel pain.



That was a big improvement for gaming, gamer will love it, such as L4D2 players. They can feel the zombies are attacking us from the back and you will not feel any pain from zombie.
