"No, I don't want my gaming inadequacy to be proven by the actual feeling of a knife to the ribs."

Gaming iadequacy is the least of the problems.

Not going to end well even without blood.

Just imagine some buggy game or some really vicious attacker having at a player.

Let the lawsuits begin.....

Just my thoughts on the matter.

relax everyone, those are probably just vibrators like found in console controlers since the PS1

I would be curious to read an actual test

Also, if the drivers get standardized with an API, it would be interesting for VR

The high conductivity electrodes and gel pads leads me to believe that they are doing this right. But you may have to buy replacement gel pads if you use it a lot.
Electrical stimulation can be painful. On the plus side a bad player might get totally ripped abs.

I have shock gel pad thing for massaging muscles and it does huge shocks if you turn it up enough. Think of it on the top of your arm and you turn the shock to max. You can feel the pain at the tips of your fingers. Also the shocker runs on a tiny battery. Like a watch battery. It doesn't take much to feel it.

If they setup an entire shirt to do this they could easily power it with 2AA batteries or just through a usb connection.

Maybe for VR, for normal play the controller vibration is enough for me
