To that end, there are two ‘tiers’ of Teslasuit sporting different levels of granularity in terms of body location for effects. So, how much will this cutting-edge jumpsuit cost you? As ever with these things, you get what you pay for. The central processing unit apparently connects wirelessly to your PC – we’re trying to find precise details on how this works. This central unit is then aided by bolt-on co-processors for Motion, Climate control and Haptics, check the link above for more a closer look at those units.
The suit is ‘powered’ via a central unit (the T-Belt).

Not only that, the suit can apparently simulate climate changes in the VR environment, warning the wearer to a claimed 30 degrees.

They claim the suit is capable of producing feedback spanning everything from full body hugs, to the impact of bullets and explosions (albeit hopefully not quite as painful or life threatening). The Tesla Studios folks claim to have taken this base tech and enhanced it for use in virtual reality applications.
You may already be familiar with the technology if ever you’ve had athletic therapy or indeed used a TENS machine for pain relief. The Teslasuit uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), to transmit sensations directly to the wearers body via electric pulses. We told you yesterday that UK based Tesla Studios were approaching the end of a 3 year R&D cycle and preparing to launch their ‘revolutionary’ haptic full-body suit via the Kickstarter crowd-funding platform. The ‘smart textiles’ used in Teslasuit is capable of transferring feedback from a virtual world through the use of electrical pulses direct to the skin. Teslasuit, the full body haptic ‘skin’ which uses an ‘electro-tactile’ feedback system to give the wearer sensations of touch, force and even warmth, has now hit Kickstarter but, perhaps predictably, it ain’t cheap!
