Gen 1 Haptic "Suit"
/The current tech for a fully immersive virtual experience is out there and this is a good start in building a Gen 1 haptic and 3D immersive rig.
3D Visuals - Oculus Rift Dev Kit $350
Haptic Chest Gear - KOR-FX $150
Cognitive Controls - Emotiv Headgear - $499
Stationary Motion - Virtuix Omni Platform - $499 + Keyboard Tray $79
Audio - Bose noise canceling headphones - $300
Haptic Gloves - not yet avl.
3D capable mobile device or computer - $800 - $1000
Total Gen 1 "Suit" will run you around $2600
This cost can be reduced with your existing equipment. For me the mobile and computer are covered as is the sound so it will run about $1600
The first half can be implemented for the mobile uses with no platform or cognitive controls for $500.
On to making a first run of the virtual world. I intend to make a virtual workspace that will allow me to test the environment and device configurations. Understanding the capabilities of the platform is the first step of making The Game and seeing what can be achieved. How will flying feel with the cognitive controls?!?
