    Will Behaptics suit work with Walkovr Mocap movement trackers?
    (I am asking because they both use Bluetooth , and Behaptics site the support service says that it need to turn off any Bluetooth on PC and plug/use the Bluetooth stick that comes with the suit ).WalkOVR trackers comes with their own built in Bluetooth

    Hey alex, got a couple questions. 1. I find myself needing to wear larger clothes due to the virus and no gyms open where i am. Will I be able to adjust it to my current size and then back down to my normal size when i eventually hit the gym again? 2. I have a valve index which is similar to your HTC so i was wondering did you experience any delays in game that were noticable or would cause someone to experience more nausea than they previously would've experienced?

    it seems a great device but, cost apart, the doubt is about the game support. In my experience many revolutionary devices failed 'cause the lack of support: few great games and complicated configuration need (download files, installing mods, etc).
    I fear that due to the cost both of device and games integration this amazing tool will remain a expensive toy, sadly :(

    The vest when used in actual games is pretty underwhelming to be honest. In Onward for instance you can feel a "gentle tap" when shot... it's ridiculous. I'm returning mine. Also you do get vibrations from ambient sounds, or your own shooting. If you want a vest, get SubPac or one of the other sound-based (low frequencies) vest options in the market. The bHaptics vest is not worth it.

    • @charlielima
      @charlielima 3 года назад

      The bHaptics and Subpac are different, the latter uses transducers and bHaptic use ERM motors, so the feeling will be different. The x16 and x40 vests will give more precise feed back on native games vs bass feedback from in games sounds that the Subpac would (but the x16 and x40 can do both - native feed back on supported games and audio feed back on others) - Both devices have their own use cases, depends what you are after.
      I currently have a bass transducer on a chest strap plugged into an amp and use Voicemeeter banana to send sound to Rift S, a room speaker and the transducer, the latter is filtered for low pass frequencies. It works well but not without it's own issues of some sounds not getting translated to vibrations and vice versa, but main draw back is location, a shot from the side is felt on my back a shot on front is felt on back etc. So for me location based feedback will be more immersive for me, hence why I've pre-ordered an x40
