The vests are based on technology what was originally designed for use by doctors to remotely examine patients.
Connected to the computer by USB, the vests consist of light weight air compressors that pump air into bladders (I kid you not!)
A version designed for first person shooters contains eight cells that are able to recreate the direction and force of bullet fire.
Another version recreates the G-force felt while driving or flying.
When the game player accelerates, the cells in the vest inflate the chest. Faster acceleration causes the cells to inflate quicker whilst braking causes the back cells to activate.
TN games has also designed sleeves, leg covers and a helmet that plugs into the vests to deliver what it says a "full body gaming experience."
So if you want to know what taling a bullet feels like from the pistol of Lara Croft (pictured right) perhaps the gaming vest is for you. But beware, you may finish a game more shattered than if you had been involved in high adrenaline activity for real!
