With the advent of the metaverse, innovations in terms of how we perceive the virtual world are getting closer and closer to fictional movies. As in the case of OWO Game, who developed a haptic sensation jacket.
Until now, the methods used to interact with video games were mainly through audio and video, even in immersive technology. Technological developments were based on improving these two aspects.
This year we have come across innovations such as the UnlimitedHand armband or the haptic jacket from OWO game. Although you can already pre-order it on their official website, its launch is planned for the end of 2022.
How does the jacket work inside the metaverse?
The closest sensory contact we had ever had with video games was through vibrations. With the OWO game jacket this has been overcome, because through its pulse trains that cause micro sensations it is possible to feel: hugs, caresses, the sensation of a stabbing or a gunshot.
Next week we’ll be at #GDC22 presenting our very own Sensations Creator. You may be wondering what that is, so here goes! Now you can create your own sensations 👏
Let us know if you’ll be at GDC, we’d love to see you for a demo at booth S842!#GDC #feelthegame #OWO pic.twitter.com/3d1MM7hlgG
