i found Forcetek Xio quite interesting

you can feel the resistance while playing putting us a step closer to full virtual reality

steering wheel resistance
shooting/weapon pullback (even heaviness of different weapons)
correct muscle force when playing sports

with enhanced reality shades you may even see things/weapons on your hands, the ultimate FPS experience

they even plan half/one-third body-suits/vest (light and smaller) to really feel it.


oh and it's not like the old nintendo powerglove on 8bit games, which didnt do anything except look good and have turbo buttons :p

the military is specially interested in creating virtual/enhanced reality scenarios

Only if you had to use it.
