The 3rd Space Vest uses air pressure to produce thumping sensations wherever impact should be felt. The vest has eight zones which can simulate the direction and forces of bullet fire, explosions, and even the sensation of fingers tapping on you.

Patches are being released for Doom 3, Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2. The device is priced at around $170 and is available via TN Games website.
