look around technology is all around us we use it in every aspect of our lives it enables us to do amazing things but what if we could go further what if we could go beyond the screen where your digital world is blended with your real world now we can this is the world with Holograms what will they enable us to do new ways to visualize our work I have an idea for the fuel tank new ways to share ideas with each other I just put the images in one drop more immersive ways to play new ways to teach and learn so put the new trap in the place of the old one yeah and tighten here and here new ways to collaborate and explore the places we've never been look at this formation let's take a closer look and new ways to create the things we imagine because when you change the way you see the world you can change the world you see this is microsoft hololens why err a Brody and I are playing first-person shooter we're sitting there on the couch driving this Jeep I'm on the back and I'm pounding away with the gun and he's hitting the bumps and then the thing explodes on the screen we go flying but there's really nothing except a little vibration says what good is that like it's gonna is 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 do you feel the impact but you feel the spread and you get the kickback and it's all there the whole experience and that's when you actually feel like you're totally immersed and with air reg that's what you get my name is Brody Stanfield I'm the president co-founder of 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 it's a suit it's a haptic product that provides sensory stimulation taking the user into the game whether it be sound sensations of touch the idea of the impact Eric will put you into that experience that you've always wanted there are three major components to this suit there's the decoder the exoskeleton and the sim skin the decoder is the piece that attaches actually to your console or platform takes information then it brings that and sends it to the exoskeleton the exoskeleton is now the component that sort of has all the pieces in airag 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 supplied 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 so the idea is we have six speakers two on the front on this side two on that side and then on the back one here and 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 alright so first thing we're going to do is I'm going to test this in vibrational stuff so to start with I'm just going to set a value here and I'm gonna be top right you do that yeah all right so let's switch that over to bottom left and we're with you yeah which is possible that's pretty much how vibration works as for stims they're pretty much focused on particular muscles they can track some muscles they can either give a full contraction or it can be a slight contraction once again same thing top right so they justify you okay shut that off how you feeling we can see it moving your shoulder forward like that yeah I nothing we'll wait alright so that's pretty much it for the basic fundamentals of what air I can actually do so what do you think of it it was pretty interesting and that really experienced anything like that yeah virtual world awareness you actually inside the world that you're playing in the last piece is the sim skin so Sims c'n is the look and feel over top you can then have these front piece plates that you put on or an armor on the sides and that kind of stuff to actually look like you're in the game that you're actually envisioning yourself in games already have sound arity of haptic feedback so we take that information that's already there and we implement it with air egg and it's now a matter of the developers to take on that role if they have a game and they want to compete with a triple-a game and they're only an indie company well now you can it's not just about the visuals anymore it's about how you can how you can differentiate your product we think that's gonna be a big difference core effects is the immersive gaming vest what our technology does is what everybody else is trying to do in the visual field but we do it in the haptic or tactile search be allowed you to seal everything that happens the core FX gaming vest uses award-winning 4d effects technology that takes the acousto haptic signals or the audio coming from your game and turns them into incredibly precise environmental and situational feedback that sync to what's happening on screen I used to code I used to write programs my own games and you know having the background of neuroscience I started thinking about well you know there are things that are being ignored in the existing gaming community and that's the amazing power of the brain to project reality it's like right into your heart so when you have for the first time as a device that allows you to completely immerse yourself in your media and really feel the action and environment the vest itself is Wireless and lightweight and is completely customizable in terms of depth of field and the intensity of the environment of feedback so you can fine-tune your experience it's incredibly tweakable with an assortment of variable controls if you're playing an FPS you can set it so that you can feel everything from the explosions in the distance to the recoil of your weapon you even killed me you shooting it's pretty good I love even like hearing other people's bullets you can tell they're coming from their left side because you feel it it's definitely really cool we are a multi-platform technology we actually compliment all of the existing technologies and including the new virtual reality technologies virtual reality is the next evolution of gaming with successful devices like the oculus rift and the Omni that are changing the industry the core effects vest is amazing on its own but when used in conjunction with these other products you can see how they all work together to achieve complete immersion it's a really different experience you can just feel the kickback that was actually pretty neat you feel not only that when you're shooting or when you get shot but also kind of when you walk and stuff and it's pretty cool is pretty impressive then the future will have an SDK coming out soon for developers what if there was a video game controller that could replace all the video game controllers in your collection right now controllers like this and this one that one of course this that this and even one of these okay maybe not that but how about these two well we've made something that can do everything these controls can do and a little bit more and what would we call a controller that can replace all the controllers in your collection well you would call it the all controller for the past two years we've been designing this controller by creating a bunch of different models coming up with different internal components and external pieces to really get the best features we could possibly fit in a tiny package right out of the box our controller has a bunch of different drivers built into it so that you can connect to virtually any operating system on any computer you own and not only that you'll be able to play any video game ever made and when we say any video game we literally mean that if the game didn't have controller support initially you'll be able to control your mouse and keyboard directly from the controller itself the all controller can connect to Windows Mac and Linux and it also has the ability to connect to iOS and Android just use the built-in screen on the controller to select the device you want to connect to and then connect it's just that easy and that built-in screen isn't just for connecting the different devices you're also able to customize the controller and a bunch of different ways remap every single button every single joystick invert them adjust their dead zones adjust their sensitivity and adjust the trigger sensitivity whatever you want to do you're capable of doing it with our built-in operating system within the controller itself if you want you can even set up the entire controller to just do macros or setup macros on-the-fly whatever game you're playing however you want to play it this controller will give you more options than any other controller ever made we're adding new support for devices all the time through software updates for our controller and those software updates are totally free once you've gotten the controller we'll be adding new features as time goes on alongside the all controller we'll also be releasing the allows you to connect to the Xbox 360 Xbox one PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and all of the features you've seen all the customizability also works on those systems as well everything you've seen in this video is based off of a real controller that already works
