Sony Could Be Developing Clothing With Haptic Feedback

It’s great to see Sony still supporting the PlayStation VR, even if it might not have been the huge success they envisioned. However, a new patent filed by Sony could indicate the company might have far bigger VR ambitions.

Compressed gases and liquids? Sounds like more overly complicated VR gear. I've made very simple devices that let you feel textures and other haptic feedback, and the tech is cheap. Most people don't want to wear geeky looking frankenclothing for VR, better to keep it simple and approachable even if it doesn't have all the features.

Gases and liquids are extremely cheap solutions compared to mechanical haptics if that’s what you’re referencing.

kneon2550d ago

Not really, those gases and liquids still need some sort of pumps/compressors to make them useful, and one of the reasons for using gases or liquids is to change the temperature you are feeling, so that adds further cost and complexity. Plus you have the added issue of keeping the gases/liquids contained. The issues are different than with mechanical haptics, but this approach still has its problems. Though they can induce sensations not easily done with mechanical haptics.

I've tried plenty of crazy VR gear and much of it is too complicated. I can get people to try on gloves for VR, maybe a vest. But those exoskeleton type devices turn most people off from even trying them.

I know people working on full body suits, but that will always be a niche market, the average gamer isn't going to want to change clothes just to play a game.

Sony: Sells twice as many VR headsets as both of their PC competitors combined, and then some.
Gaming Media: "Even though PlayStation VR wasn't the huge success Sony envisioned..."

Would be great for vr porn. I doubt people concern themselves with how they look when watching porn. Seems like a lot of work for watching porn though

Interesting idea for future gaming, the literal controller is you

Razzer2548d ago

Don’t think I like the sound of that. When was the last time you washed your hands?

solideagle2548d ago (Edited 2548d ago )

sword art online... -_-

Skuletor2548d ago

Isn't that what Kinect was?

I don't know if I would want the sensation of being shot, punched or cut while I'm gaming!?

Smitty20202549d ago

It would be great, feeling that your there and apart of the game

ElementX2549d ago

I can see it being a distraction

KillZallthebeast2548d ago

Well if it's about immersion and you're taking damage it being a distraction is kind of the point.

supes_242548d ago

Lol, what? It’s VR and deeper immersion than ever before. Feeling what it may be like for the in game character during fights, shooting, explosion and such would be amazing! Not a distraction. How could that be a distraction? It would make me not want to get shot even more adding to the immersion for heightened awareness.

rainslacker2548d ago

G forces of a car while cornering would be cool though

Axonometri2549d ago

Here cums the VR-Sex experiences

Relientk772549d ago

Sounds like we're getting VR suits like in the movie: Ready Player One, sometime in the future.

Smitty20202549d ago

Would love to play in that world

supes_242547d ago

Omg, that’s the day I’m waiting for. We still need a 360 degree movable platform tho..:expensive

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?

mooreneco2135d ago

That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
