So now we can have true sexual assault in VR. I wonder what safeguards will be created by developers to mitigate that. I wonder what legal ramifications there will be for touching someone without consent, if any, and what kind of exposure to liability developers will have.

It appears to avoid putting actuators in sensitive areas.

This can be remedied. I'm picturing a port in the crotchal area that allows for the connection of interchangeable codpieces.

"The Teslauit haptic library provides a range of sensations"

At least get your brand name right...

That's quite some anterior pelvic tilt on the lady! Good thing she's going to be getting more standing in now.

Wow this is so cool. Really makes me feel like I'm living in the future. Not sure that naming it tesla was a good idea though.

right, riding the Tesla keyword is so 2010, they should have gone with MLsuit.io or blockchainSuit.io. Okay it felt good to write, go ahead and downvote me you mofos

Why not unlock your potential with the Cryptosuit?

I think it's silly to get wrapped up in one minor typo like this, but we're talking about the name of the product here...

It doesn't leave the greatest first impression.

as neat as this (likely vaporware) would be, i feel like just starting with something powerglove-esque and then extending up the arms would be easier and capture most of the value.

also, only two sensors per arm seems like it would leave it difficult to measure forearm twist. maybe they expect to recover that from touch controller orientation information?

I expect my vaporware to at least get its marketing right! :-)

Now it just needs a helmet with oxygen control and we can fully simulate dying in Elite Dangerous.

But seriously, that's probably the first thing I'd go for with regards to temp control. Elite cockpits look like a sauna if you overheat your ship.

I think if I was after experiences that immersive, and willing to go to that much trouble, then I would take up paintball, or join the society for creative anachronism or something.
