Teslasuit – full body haptic VR suit • Hacker News Board

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.

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

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

It appears to avoid putting actuators in sensitive areas.

6 motion sensors for the torso but none for the fingers? Going to simulate chest bouncing?
