I don't believe anything in the VR space until it starts to be demoed. Too much vaperware and marketing BS.

Every thread about something cool has a bunch of posts filled with unfounded skepticism. Do you have a good reason to claim it's vaporware, or is it just cool to be controversial on HN? What does your pointless pessimism and negativity add to the conversation? HN is a community of hackers who like tech, creating stuff, and building the future. Let's get excited about the new things and support our colleagues, instead…
I don't think that's a fair accusation. I've been reading hacker news for several years and this is maybe the second time I've seen a new product and my first thought was "vaporware". There is something about the renderings and the half-baked content that gives off a strong sense of not being close to production. We could be wrong, but it does at least indicate that they need to do something about their public facing…
Putting "Tesla" in the name seems like you're trying to use the carmaker's brand to bolster your own brand. Kind of shady.
Especially since Elon Musk is known for creating companies that have nothing to do with the car -- SpaceX, Neuralink. Amusingly, Elon does not tack on "Tesla" in front of his other companies / products (like Apple and their use of the "i") -- so this is actually a good indicator that Teslasuit is not connected to him.
It's a simple misconception to correct, though.
Hey all, Denis, Teslasuit Marketing Director here. Looking forward to your questions! as for feedback for users - we have it on Youtube - just google it by keyword phrase "Teslasuit VR haptic suit at DevGAMM 2017 Minsk" as for prefix Tesla - we using it due to the fact that we are using current (EMS and TENS) to provide haptic (sense of touch) as for electricity: yes, we are using TENS and EMS to provide haptic sensa…
Don't TENS electrodes require touching the skin directly?

"Teslasuit, n. A subpoena from Elon Musk's trademark attorneys"
That's not the way trademarks work.. Tesla has a trademark only in the fields they compete in: solar, cars, batteries. They can't stop you from starting Tesla Coffee Shop, or (in this case) Tesla VR suit.
Those are not trademark categories. Here's a list:

In particular note Class 09, which covers solar and batteries AND this haptic suit.

Revolutionary streaming service SDK will blow your mind with it unlimited possibilities, provided on most high level ever. Pffffft. All of this reads like imaginary, aspirational nonsen…

I couldn’t make a more buzzword-y, vaporware-sounding sentence unless I added the words “crypto” and “AI“ to it somehow.

It might indicate this well in text, but in speech it'll be "the Tesla suit", which I could reasonably believe to be one of Elon's crazy ideas. It's a simple misconception to correct, though.
The only climate control system I am aware of that can be used in this setting are Peltier effect based systems, and they are dogs in term of energy consumption if you can't put fan or other thermal pump.

same here, i am very suspicious
we are using the same approach as that https://hpi.de/fileadmin/user_upload/fachgebiete/baudisch/pr...
Orherwise... ouch... fire ants.
Edit: Note that despite the differences between TENS and NMES do not extend to the effects of bad contact.
