toys: January 2008 Archives

As inventions go on the getminted gadget blogsite I would have to say the TN games vest might just be the most jaw dropping.

If like me you've often wondered what it feels like to drive a formula one car, be present at a shuttle launch or fly a fighter plane then this unique vest will replicate the real-life physical feelings.

TN games who sell their vests and under such products using the promotional line "Get pounded on your own terms" say the "Gaming vest' takes gameplay beyond sight and sound, creating spatial awareness of the world your characters inhabit. Unlike traditional force feedback devices that rumble or buzz, the 3rd Space Vest gives you precise impact where it happens, as it happens. Get pounded with body slams, crushed with G-forces, and blasted with bullet fire."

Now to me one of the good things about video games is that you can do things using your joystick or keyboard that you wouldn't dare do in person.  

The vest it seems will make such games alot more real though!
