Hey all,
Denis, Teslasuit Marketing Director here. Looking forward to your questions!
as for feedback for users - we have it on Youtube - just google it by keyword phrase "Teslasuit VR haptic suit at DevGAMM 2017 Minsk"
as for prefix Tesla - we using it due to the fact that we are using current (EMS and TENS) to provide haptic (sense of touch)
as for electricity: yes, we are using TENS and EMS to provide haptic sensations
as for security: yes. we have 2 security system built in the Teslasuit (software level and hardware level)
PS. I can't answer so fast to other questions due to limitation of the Hacker News, but promise - I will answer to all your questions a bit more later

- Eyght 9y agoHere is a link to another video where a guy wears the suit, has it setup, and gets 'touched'. https://youtu.be/BBePpDsdzLw?t=148 https://youtu.be/BBePpDsdzLw?t=148
- etiam 9y agoEstimate for what the cost is going to be, initially and eventually?
- cwkoss 9y agoWhen are you changing the name?
- wmeredith 9y agoI think this is snark, but I'm curious for a serious answer to this question. Tesla is such a loaded name in the tech space, you can't possibly hope to keep that in the brand.
- helluvathing 9y agoI get hives from heat and large temperature differences. What consideration have you taken of malicious use of climate control?
- yread 9y agoDon't TENS electrodes require touching the skin directly?
- drspacemonkey 9y agoHaving used a TENS system before, yes. And if there's imperfect contact, it stings like a bastard.
- justinclift 9y agoLooks interesting. Some practical questions: :) • Sizing wise, how're you thinking to handle different sized people. For example, I'm about 155cm (just over "5 foot" in imperial). That's fairly short compared to many North Americans. • Power and signal transport. On the YouTube video there seems to be a back attachment with a WiFi logo. Does that mean the suit itself will be untethered (battery powered)? • If it's untethered, do you have estimates for how long it'll generally go between charges (for the first generation)? • Will the SDK and/or drivers be Open Source (of any license)?
- supreme_sublime 9y agoI second the sizing question, but I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum at 6'5".
- crywolverine 9y agoSizing: we are creating different sizes from XS to XXL Power and signal transport: Teslasuit fully untethered. Signal transmitting via Wi-FI. Battery is enough for 3-4 days of gaming (approx. 25-32 hours) SDK: not now, but we are thinking in this direction.
- justinclift 9y agoThanks. Hopefully for the arms at least, the sensors can be some moved around. Even with "standard" sizes like that, I always need to get clothes tailored as the arms and legs are still too long. :) Open Sourcing drivers/SDK wise: If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or just discuss things, you're welcome to ping me (justin@postgresql.org). Happy to sign reasonable NDA (etc) if needed.
- kenning 9y agoHow much discussion has there been, and are you expecting, for a fleshlight add on to the suit?
