Currently, big corporations are looking for differentiating elements in the video game market.
VR technology needs complementary gadgets to be more immersive and to increase market share (8%). In this way, the gaming sector is looking for more realistic feelings and sensation when they play. The current products on the market only use vibration and all the sensations are perceived the same.
The next natural step in the evolution of VR is feeling the game.
At this point, a Southern Spanish SME, active in the area of videogaming, has patented and developed an immersive technology, which allows a ‘Feel Real’ sensation while playing in real time.
The system (hardware and software), based on Electro-Muscular Stimulation, is a wireless haptic jacket (gaming vest) that is compatible with VR, PC, platform and mobile.
This jacket allows players to feel over 30 different sensations in real-time while playing video games. It is a wireless system compatible with PC, mobile, console and VR.
The jacket has a pulses engine that makes it possible to create the sensations that adapt to each player body. Through physical sensations, the players feel, live and experience the world of video games which are perceived as real.
The company has also developed an app – compatible with Android, iOs, Windows and Mac – which allows players to register and get calibrated. To achieve the desired sensations, each person can calibrate their own vest. This data will be saved in the App so the user can make changes to it whenever they want.
Main features of this innovation are:
a) Haptic Sensation: Play and feel over 30 different physical sensations.
b) Fit & Flex Tech: Comfortable and flexible materials allow incredible freedom of movement.
c) Wireless Gaming system: Play wherever, with whomever, no strings attached.
To improve their reach to the final user and be stronger with content in the system, they first need to increase the number of compatible video games and experiences with this system. They are interested in technical cooperation with developers to help them understand this technology and assist them in the compatibility process.
The Spanish SME has developed a Software Development Kit (SDK) where video game developers will find everything they need to adapt their games to the system (assets for Unity and Unreal Engine, instructions, issue link and a dummy).
Besides, the Spanish SME is looking for one big investor (8 million for 20% of the company). In this case, they will progress better and faster for marketing around the world.
