http://blogs.pcworld.com/digitalworld/archives/ThirdAgeVest%20scaled.jpgSure it sucks to get killed while playing a shoot-'em-up, but you know you can just get up and start over again. But what if you actually felt all that carnage? Would it make you think twice before charging in?
Don the 3rdSpace gaming vest, and you'll be feeling gunshots, missile attacks, kicks, punches, and other types of body impact. Designed by a surgeon, the vest was originally created for use in the medical field to poke and prod patients in order to get a sense for what they were feeling. Since then, the vest has been adapted for the game industry, capable of delivering hits and shots exactly where you would feel them. Utilizing air pouches--four on front, four in back--the vest nudges and jabs gamers at eight different contact points.
The vest, uh, hits in November (http://www.tngames.com/index.php) for $189, and will ship with Call of Duty. Another vest is also in the works, this one aimed at flight and driving sims.
