Fans of virtual reality may be interested in the new VR tactile vest created by the Actronika development team.
This week, Skillet was launched via Kickstarter with the goal of raising enough money to move from concept to production. Actronika chose to use voice coil motors, which have several advantages over electrical stimulation or eccentric rotary motors, allowing for high-definition tactile sensations, i.e. rich and precise feel.
“Virtual reality has changed a lot in recent years with the advancement of virtual reality headsets that can take you to fantastic new worlds. Unfortunately, the experience still cannot be truly immersive, because while it allows us to see and hear, we cannot touch or interact with the virtual world. As we move closer to better immersion, it is necessary to fully explore what touch can bring to a virtual experience. With this in mind, Actronika has developed something that meets this growing need: the Skillet tactile vest. The Skillet vest allows you to experience everything that happens in virtual reality: live and direct, realistic sensations. Make the most of the VR world by not only seeing and hearing it, but also by feeling it.”
