ARAIG suit takes gaming feedback to a whole new level

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:26 AM PDT

Video games are trying to provide realistic feedback, and for a long time we had rumble in our controllers, but now, we might see a device that takes feedback to a whole new level.

ARAIG, or As Real As It Gets, is trying to enhance your video game experience with a new multi-sensor feedback suit. This suit comes with decoder, undersuit and exoskeleton layers in order to provide you with feedback, so you'll be able to "feel" everything that happens in the game. Although this sounds amazing, only downside is that you have to wear ARAIG suit during the each gaming session. According to the developers, this device is fully compatible with any type of console, peripheral and game, so you can enjoy in your favorite games on a whole new different way.

ARAIG sounds great, and so far, it's trying to collect funding, and with the little luck, we just might see ARAIG suit available in the future.
