The OWO tactile shirt uses a series of “micro-feelings” that combine to make you feel different aspects of VR games.
Electrodes and sensors strategically placed along the shirt and even in the arms help users get a truly immersive feel while gaming, and the app lets you calibrate the sensations to exactly match how intense or mild the tactile feedback is.
And unlike other devices that use vibration to reproduce a single sensation, OWO is the only company that can reproduce an infinite number of realistic physical sensations. And since every body is different, you can calibrate the sensations to make your experience unique.
The OWO Haptic T-shirt was unveiled at CES this year as a way to make gaming more immersive. And if you wear the shirt, you will not only see and hear the game, but you will also experience it through the sense of touch. The design and application of the jersey help translate a whole library of games into different sensations.
Precise sensors come together to create a more realistic experience that adds layers and depth to what you feel. The T-shirt offers much more than just the ability to experience bullet wounds, as you can feel everything from trauma (a punch, gunshot, or even a dagger wound) to reactions (gun recoil to resistance while pushing objects) to experiences like gusts of wind, tension, etc. that.
The shirt itself is a lightweight garment made of stretchy Lycra and is available in up to 9 different sizes for both men and women. Inside, it’s lined with 10 electrodes placed throughout the torso and arms that provide haptic feedback through a completely wireless experience thanks to Bluetooth 5.2. There is also a USB-C port that allows charging the built-in battery, which provides 8 hours of use on a full charge, according to Yanko Design.
