A full body haptic suit (also known as haptic vest, gaming suit, VR suit, or tactile suit) is a wearable gadget that provides haptic feedback to the body. Haptic feedback, or haptics, is the sense of touch artificially recreated by applying forces or vibrations.

The Full List of VR Haptic Suits

We gathered a list of the most relevant full body haptic suits that are currently under development or already exist.

Tesla Suit

The Tesla Suit is a full-body haptic suit that allows users to feel what they play. It’s a smart textile gaming suit that lets people interact with virtual environments in ways that were not possible before. Its electro-tactile haptic feedback system offers the ability to touch and feel any virtual object inside the VR world.

The Teslasuit transmits sensations to the body by neuromuscular electrical stimulation, something commonly used in rehabilitation and athletic training. The stimulations are very similar to the body’s own native language.

The light and adjustable design allow players to comfortably enjoy their virtual experiences. Environmental effects can be felt from several points within the vest which use four types of haptic feedback. Every laser, bullet, and creature interaction can have its own specific hit location and feel. The Rapture Vest gives life to every virtual object you may find in VR.

Synesthesia Suit

The Synesthesia Suit was developed to support the multi-sensor concept behind the VR video game “Rez Infinite”. The 26 actuators vibrate all over the player’s body along with the music and it also lights up via LED lights. Vibrations have an element of texture in them to which the light patterns and LED colors synchronize as the game progresses. This multimodal suit allows players to experience music through the senses of hearing, touch, and sight.
