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

#102I always wanted to use TENS and EMS but my professors were a bit cautious. Anyway I've learned a lot and it was a really fun project. I still have the suit and have currently lent it to a fellow student who want's to survey if and how it increases VR immersion. Very happy to see another professional go at this! Good luck guys!

#103Hey 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…
Looks interesting. Some practical questions: :) • Sizing wise, how're you thinking to handle different sized people. For example, I'm about 155cm (just over "5 foot" in imperial). That's fairly short compared to many North Americans. • Power and signal transport. On the YouTube video there seems to be a back attachment with a WiFi logo. Does that mean the suit itself will be untethered (battery powered)? • If it's un…

You seem to be affiliated with them. My advice would be to demo asap and as much a possible. I am sure it is hard with a suit like that, but it's the only way people aren't gonna think it is vaperware.

Sizing: we are creating different sizes from XS to XXL Power and signal transport: Teslasuit fully untethered. Signal transmitting via Wi-FI. Battery is enough for 3-4 days of gaming (approx. 25-32 hours) SDK: not now, but we are thinking in this direction.
Even with "standard" sizes like that, I always need to get clothes tailored as the arms and legs are still too long. :)
Open Sourcing drivers/SDK wise: If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or just discuss things, you're welcome to ping me (justin@postgresql.org). Happy to sign reasonable NDA (etc) if needed.

This is a solved problem you can buy right now and get an actual product. https://neuronmocap.com/ No chest bouncing sensors though, unfortunately...

But, pretty much Windows only. :(
They do have one demo + their data reading SDK also working on OSX. Not really sure if that should be considered real OSX support though:

Reading the license in the SDK, it's 100% proprietary. My interest completely died at that point.
