[hardware]: FPS vest

(nUllSkillZ) #1

Treffer spüren: Shooter-Weste auf der IFA @ golem.de (unfortunately german only)
Actually a vest that has 8 airchambers (4 on back 4 on front).
These chambers can be filled (quickly?) by a compressor with air to simulate hits (for FPS) or accelaration (for racing games).
Games have to support it.
Windows XP and Vista only so far.

It seems that tngames (english) are the inventors of the vest.

Pretty “gimicky” but not that usefull for most FPS games, imho. AFAIK, Unreal Tournament (the first) is the only game that I really know to send hit-spot data to the client. (You had a HUD element there which would show where you were hit.)
