When you see a Warrior crashing towards you with a huge 2-handed weapon, you now have a genuine reason to be scared, that is, if you’re wearing one of these new Impact Vests from TN Games.
Our lightweight wearable gaming interface is designed to let you experience the physical aspects of game play such as impact, speed, motion, and gravity. As gamers ourselves, we designed the vest to make games more realistic, give you a better handle on the game space as a real 3-D environment, intensify your awareness and competitive edge during play, and take great games and supercharge their performance into an even more exciting unique experience. 3rd Space is elite cutting edge technology for our PC based audience.
I think I want one… They will be on display at the E for All Expo this weekend, and our friends from WanderingGoblin.com will be attending the event. Hopefully we’ll get some feedback about it. Here’s the press release:
LOS ANGELES—(BUSINESS WIRE)—TN Games, developer of the gaming industry’s most innovative and progressively advanced physical experience hardware and software technologies, announce today that they have enhanced the 3RD Space game driver to include support for World of Warcraft (WoW), which has over 10 million players worldwide. TN Games will demonstrate the WoW driver support for the award-winning 3RD Space Vest, which will provide gamers with 3 dimensionally accurate tactile sensory stimuli coordinated directly with the game action, at the E For All Expo being held in Los Angeles on October 3 – 5, Booth 428. The driver offers players fantastic contact effects as well as a physical sensory experience linking a new meaning and signature to magic spells and powers, while enhancing the intensity and fun of game play.
“Imagine actually feeling all the traditional impact effects of kicks, punches and blasts, plus environmental effects such as wind force and lightning strikes, as well as important RPG aspects like the effect of magic spells directly on your body as it happens,” said Dr. Mark Ombrellaro, CEO, TN Games. “The 3RD Space Vest and our RPG effects will absolutely take WoW players, and 20 other of the most popular FPS and RPG game titles to new immersive heights.”
