Disney Has A Prototype Jacket That Allows You To Feel Force...Or The Force
VR technology is advancing every day, and Disney has a prototype in its possession that may be a game changer. Code-named the "Force jacket," the device is a Pneumatically-actuated jacket that simulates the feeling of touch on one's body during VR stuff. Like, if a snake slithered across your body, you would be able to feel that now. It sounds pretty amazing, and looks even cooler than that! Check out the suit in action below, and let us know if you'd want one! We are one step closer to the world of Ready Player One!
