Immersive experiences seek to engage the full sensory system in ways that words, pictures, or touch alone cannot, like VR headsets. Disney Research’s Force Jacket boasts a novel array of pneumatically-actuated airbags and force sensors that provide precisely directed force and high frequency vibrations to the upper body.
It also uses pneumatic hardware and force control algorithms to verify perception of airbag location and pressure magnitude moving across the body. Now this is one invention that would work for both standard gaming and virtual reality / augmented reality applications. Unfortunately, this will probably never see the light of day like most concepts.
