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…

The skepticism is well founded. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, put or shut up if you prefer.

This is a marketing page, there's been more than enough recent scams built on nothing but high quality marketing pages that you'd be incredibly gullible to believe them.

Any news from CES 2018? According to the blog it was meant to be unveiled there but I haven't seen anyone covering it.

It is there, but amongst the giant pile up of startups, it is hard to stand out. I would have paid more attention had I known it was of interest. :/

If you're at CES, it is in the bottom floor of the Sands just behind the Israel section.

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…

How much discussion has there been, and are you expecting, for a fleshlight add on to the suit?

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

So brave

The suit literally shocks the person wearing it? Looks unpleasant - do you anticipate any safety issues?

It would be unpleasant if your VR text editor shocked you, sure. Might make for a fun game mechanic though.

1. Add a (python/js/whatever) linter plugin to the VR text editor, which will deliver a shock for violating linting rules;

2. ???

3. Profit!

Here is a link to another video where a guy wears the suit, has it setup, and gets 'touched'.

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…

I thought it was vaporware too because of the straight out of Poser look. As beautiful as the rendering is. I dug through the Twitter feeds and this looks pretty real to me https://twitter.com/a_lyakhov/status/933276295668084736 https://twitter.com/real_teslasuit/status/951561726436225031
