simultaneously explore 3d in 3d why Eric Brody and I were playing first-person shooter we're sitting there on the couch revenues Jeep I'm on the back and I'm pounding away with the gun and he's hitting the bump and then the thing explodes on the screen we go flying but there's really nothing except a little vibration what good is that like something missing here we started thinking about wow you know that would be great if we could kind of get that feeling across not only you feel the impact but you feel a spread you get to kick back and it's all there the whole experience and that's when you actually feel like you're totally immersed with air eggs that's what you get my name is Brody Stanfield I'm the president co-founder of if tech my name is Michael Stanfield and I'm the vice president and co-founder gaming today is a two dimensional product experience is limited to sight and sound and so we're providing a new dimension if the suit is a haptic product that provides sensory stimulation taking the user into the game whether it be found sensations of touch the idea of an impact air I will put you into that experience that you've always wanted there are three major components to the suits there's the decoder the exoskeleton and the sim skin the decoder is a piece that attaches actually to your console or platform take information then it brings that and send it to the exoskeleton the exoskeleton is now the component that sort of has all the pieces in ARAG that you're wearing from the nervous system which is the feedback to the control center which takes the information from the decoder as well as the power supply to make sure it's wireless the sound that we're providing is a patented sound it's quite a different experience we want to make it a surround sound feel for the ideas we have six speakers two on the front on this side two on that side and then on the back one here one here as well as a subwoofer you're always in the sweet spot no matter where you are and as for like vibratory feedback right now it's always been to the controller so you feel a rumble in your hand now we're actually getting it so it's located on the specific parts your body where it should be there are sixteen points on the front eight points on the side and sixteen points on the back all right the first thing we're going to do is I'm going to test out some vibrational stuff so to start with I'm just going to set a value here and I'm going to top right here that yeah all right let's switch that over to bottom left and we'll see yeah which is ah that's pretty much how vibration works as for stim they're pretty much focused on particular muscles they contract the muscles it can either give a full contraction or can be a slight contraction once again same thing top right so they just stick some value okay shut that off how you feeling we can see it moving your shoulder forward like that yeah nothing a weight all right that's pretty much it for the basic fundamentals of what air a can actually do so what do you think of it it was pretty interesting I'm never really experienced anything like that yes virtual world awareness you actually inside the world that you're playing it in video games even virtual reality who are merely a player in a world that is not your own supersuit lets you become you in a world limited only by your imagination forged from technology light-years away powered by the energy inside you get ready to go on this super suit super suit is the world's first wearable gaming platform and uses new sci-fi technology to

the dueling world of gaming get ready to unlock your potential get ready to dawn this super suit and live the gay you building Tesla suits is our dream initially we wanted to build something for the vr gaming but while developing this technology we realized there's a lot more potential to it and this is our story and it was really cool they might work Wow I made Tesla suit is a full-body haptic suit that lets you touch and feel sensations and virtual reality the haptic system uses mild electrical impulses to transmit signals through the skin and muscles the technology is used widely in physical therapy to help train muscle groups as well as the pain relief we've adapted that technology to help transmit signals through virtual reality either stimulating smashing potential everything changed this is this is the real deal this is not so in fictional process this is definitely teacher you guys have nailed it make it worth melting for the potential of the Tesla suit is enormous I've always been a big fan of we are important to find partners that would make it more real there wasn't anything that led by the interactive virtual reality world beyond Tunisia so we started developing place it took us three prototypes to be able to deliver pleasure work really Texas age the reason pollution Kickstarter campaign now was to get SDK and destitute in the pencil developers and build communities that will take projects to the next level we spent a lot of time developing strategy we designed our smart textiles from scratch it's durable washable and comfortable - there we made two versions pioneer we have stickers impact foil and prodigy we have digital impact point which means more reality experience the onboard control unit connects wirelessly to any device such as games consoles VR headsets mobile phones and tablets PCs and Macs taking the potential applications of Tesla suit well beyond gaming I think it'd be very interesting with their physical year and children many other uses of even compass for an academic a lots of different uses uses for right away from gaming medical to sports exercise anybody else's gain implications for actual imagine a lot of skill up to it than that and get notifications on whether or if I've missed an email from my girlfriend or my boss or something is a subtle additional cue in our Nelson see first the music industry for pretty much every industry as well and we can start this off that'd be something exceptional earlier with the game with with someone shooting you I think a video variable for a military training I enjoy most about its potential to be used in any work in any industry from music to help the re-education to a pleasure and enjoyment we wanted to make something that would showcase our passion for virtual reality and game development we've built VR digital paintball game for the help of professional paintballers the first online multiplayer game that combines haptic feedback and virtual reality our developer kit is ready to play and give you full freedom to create your sensation software pack includes the haptic editor studio and easy to use SDK we are a digital paintball game and a virtual meeting up the virtual meeting app enables friends and family to add tactile sensations to video calling and messaging such as the ability to send and receive real hugs over the internet generation
