It’s amazing how much additional immersion you can get just from some vibrations though. I once saw a demo of a device that uses an array of ultrasonic speakers to create a 3-d haptic “display”. You put your hand over the array and you can “feel” a virtual object. The sensation is odd, since there’s no actual resistance, just a sensation. So it ends up feeling like you’re holding some really light and delicate object. Like an ultralight gel.
We’re not quite there yet on VR and I suspect this thing won’t exactly fly off the shelves but it definitely has potential.
Cool gimmick for $50, if it half works. But at $50, it’s hard to imagine it even half working. Would be awesome if it could be compatible with other games besides Assassin’s Creed.

People are going to use it for porns, aren’t they? Hentai game developers on Steam are going to go full throttle with it.

How long until they port existential dread over to gaming, too?
I already get that playing Ubisoft games.
They should just skip to the endgame where it just fits around your crotch
I want to feel getting killed too
Now you can finally feel the breeze and the gravity pull when you perform a leap of faith! /s
If it was a VR game it would make “some” sense, being a 3rd person game, what is the point of the gimmick?
