Kinetic, Omnidirectional Response: Taking Gaming to the Next Level It's Not a New Concept |  |
 | The predecessors relied on either spinning motors to create vibrations, as in the Rumble Pack, whilst others employed air pockets as a means to poke and prod the user. The KOR-FX's acousto-haptic technology uses audio and special transducers to create precise and direct haptic output. User Feedback |
| The Specs Undoubtedly the most important technical spec is the fact that the vest is compatible with almost anything that produces sound and has an audio output (3.5mm audio jack). Pcs, Macs, game consoles, tablets can all be experienced in 4D now. Next in the list is customisation of the vest. The vest does already have several pre-programmed modes for the user to toggle between. The user can also fine-tune the haptic filters and power settings themselves to tailor the vest to the intensity of the environmental feedback and the depth of field they require or to suit the game. The vest has been described as one size fits most, it comes complete with a wireless dongle which can be either USB or powered by 4 AA batteries. The vest itself also requires 4 AA batteries. With the developer pack coming out soon, you can expect more and more games to be designed with the KOR-FX gaming vest user in mind. The multi-platform technology is ripe for exploitation, so keep an eye out for it! | |
