Abstract

A close fitting half or full body suit 2 is equipped internally with an array of separate sealed air or gas bags and/or electrical discharge tags 1 in order to provide tactile sensations to the player of a video, computer or arcade game. In games where the player is competing with a virtual opponent shown on a monitor screen or is trying to avoid virtual obstacles, received "impacts" or "hits" are accompanied by rapid inflation/deflation of appropriate air or gas bags or by localised electrical discharge through the tags in contact with the skin of the player. A control box, Fig 3 (not shown), is connected between the suit and the games console and includes the necessary compressed air/gas supply along with devices for varying the amplitude of the electrical discharge and the quantity/rate of air or gas released.

Description
Title:
The ability to "feel" an opponents weapon or when a player(s) move into an obstacle/object during theirjourney in the game, while playing a computer/console/areade/PC/Mechanica1 game.
Current situation Currently NON of the games in the market space have the ability were the players(s) can 'TeeP any of the opponents strikes in any physical manner this is more specifically aimed at the impact games market space by they be hand to hand, traditional weapons (i.e. swords, knves, staff..) Or bullet, misille, aircraft based. Also there is no user experience when the player(s) move into any object/obstacle as part of their j ourney through the game.
Invention This invention allows the use of a suit that when worn by the player(s) will allow them to 'TeeP the strikes of the opponent(s) and 'TeeP' when they have moved into an obj ect/obstacle and bring a 3 dimension to playing impact games.
The manner in which this is done is outlined in the next sub-section.
Details The suit is made to fit the players tightly and is composed of the following elements:
A full/half body suit that tightly fits the player(s) - similar to a diving wet suit.
This is worn without any other clothes.
Small sealed air/gas bags and electrical tags saturate the interior of the suit. The amount of each will vary according to the age of the player(s) the suit is for.
The air/gas bags are inflated and deflated rapidily by a compressed air/gas unit. Which are controlled by the microchip technology in the blackbox and works in conjuction with the specific game being played.
The electrical tags allow an electric current to be discharged. (Similar in function to the body/muscle toning units that are currently available on the market). These too are controlled by the microchip in the black box.
The suit is connected to a "black box" via a main conduit that contains all the individual wires for the bags/tags.
The black box controls the:
2_ Rate and amount of air/gas to be released into and removed from specifically which air/gas bags (See diagram 1,2,3) Each air/gas bags has an inlet valve and a conduit connected to it. The quantity and rate of the air/gas realeased into the airbag is controlled by the microchip in the black box in conjuction with the inlet valve.
Amount of current and specifically which electrical tags discharge the charge (see diagram 1,2,3) The "black box" also houses the Compressed air/gas unit All the required electronic and electrical circutary and microchip technology that controls the above and allows the suit to interact with the game.
Power supply.
Controls to allow the player(s) to vary the amount of air/gas and electrical charge released by the unit to meet the payer(s) needs.
The relevant adapters and contectors to allow communication between the black box and the suit, and the black box and the game hardware.
All the tags & air/bags are connected indivdually to the black box via a main conduit.

Claims (1)

  1. The invention of this virtual suit allows the player(s) to interact with mechanical/PC/Arcade/Console games in such a manner to bring forward a third dimension to the player(s) of these games.
    The purpose of the virtual suit is to make the payer(s) "feeP the impact of the weapons used by the opponents i.e. hands, feet, knives, staffs, swords, bullets, missiles and "feel" when theymove into to an object/obstacle during theirjourney through the game.
    The suit is aimed at ANY game which involves any from of impact while playing the game.
