About
Synesthesia Suit is designed to provide an immersive embodied experience in Virtual Reality environments. The suit has 24 vibrotactile channels that provide touch sensations, synchronised with music and interaction in the VR environment. These haptic sensations provide multisensory feedback unlike simple vibrations in traditional game controllers. Users feel immersed in a virtual world and enclosed by the texture of the sounds; test users have reported feeling that they have returned from another world after removing the suit.
