CES '08: FPS Fanatic Wear!

Ever wanted to know how it feels to be SHOT THE FUCK UP IN THE GUT WITH A FUCKIN' MINI UZI!? Well now you can. Kinda'.

I have to admit though. The G-Force thing might be interesting. And if you get the matching sleeves and helmet, maybe you could pretend you were on the SAS or something.


But at any rate XD...this was part of an article about the best gadgets from CES 2008 from the good ole' BBC:

FEEL THE FORCE

Vest
The vest is packed with air bladders that can rapidly inflate
If you have ever wondered what it feels like to fly a fighter plane or drive a formula one car, now is your chance.

TN games has designed a wardrobe for gamers that recreate on screen action in the real world.

The vests are based on technology that was originally designed for use by doctors to remotely examine patients.

The vests, connected to the computer by USB, consist of a light weight air compressor that pumps air into bladders.

A version designed for first person shooters contains eight cells that are able to recreate the direction and force of bullet fire.

Another version recreate the G-forces felt whilst driving and flying.

When the player accelerates, the cells inflate in the chest. Faster acceleration causes the cells to inflate quicker, whilst braking causes the back cells to activate.

The firm has also designed sleeves, leg covers and a helmet that plug into the vests to deliver what it says is a "full body gaming experience".
