Oct 22 2007New Force Feedback Vest, No Helmet Yet
Strap on TN Game's new Third Space Vest and you can actually feel it when you get shot playing your favorite video game. The vest has eight different zones, and can provide feedback anywhere from a simple tap to a full blown explosion. They sell for $189 and hit the streets next month, bundled with Call of Duty II and some space game. Compatibility with Quake, Doom, Unreal, etc. is coming soon. I get the feeling that somehow these will end up killing people. And if they don't then the force feedback helmet I designed should do the trick. BOOM, headshot!

I have noticed lately that there are a lot of Microsoft advertisments on your site, which is cool because I really like Microsoft, but you know what? I don't like Angela, the overweight videogame tester with different colored hair!

That's been out for ages. I had one when I was like 14. It was called the Interactor Vest by Aura.
