A US surgeon working on a "tele-health" breakthrough has devised a way for video game warriors to feel shots, stabs, slams, and hits dealt to their on-screen characters.


i for one do not really want to have an article of clothing that lets me know what if feels like to be shot or stabbed.  I can give that a miss.

Just imagine what might happen if the controls of the vest gets overloaded or malfunctions and never stops punching, stabbing and shooting you.
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Now imagine it malfunctions while you are playing Battlefield 2 and you get zapped by the Medic's shock paddles.

CLEAR...   *Boom*

But how to make it scream "Don't taze me bro!" just before the shocks hit?

It might make me stink less at OP.  If I take a shot in the gut everytime I get hit by a plasma torp, I will learn to get hit less often. :whip: :whip:
