Haptic: A Potential Solution
Hello, After watching Michael Abrash's OC2 keynote, my mind has been endlessly imagining solutions to these haptic problems both in the short and long term. I wanted to present these ideas in case ...
Some very cool ideas in this thread :) I especially like the idea of a stiffening material to stop your limbs, although I would fear the possible bugs that it could result in - getting physically stuck does not sound nice!
Have you seen the Tesla suit? They say that it actually uses eletrical impulses to stimulate directly. There's no apparent solution to the "hard touch" problem though.
(also, shameless plug: our Salto suit is a mocap full-body suit that, (as you say in your first post about body suits), has almost non-existent setup time. We're not looking into haptic feedback right now though)
