The real life version? The Teslasuit. The Teslasuit is a full-body suit that uses electric shocks to stimulate your muscles and nerves. The suit can go as far as controlling your muscles via software. YouTuber Nathie was able to try out the suit and made a video on his experience. He goes as far as to say \u201cIt\u2019s so strange that you can feel every interaction you are having.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While it claims to be full-body, the Teslasuit does not cover the hands. The company HaptX has stepped in and created haptic gloves- the most impressive thing I\u2019ve seen on the market. YouTuber SmarterEveryDay made a video (https:\/\/youtu.be\/OK2y4Z5IkZ0) where he tried out the gloves. In one part, he sticks his hand under a mini cloud pouring a small stream of rain and exclaims \u201cI\u2019m not a VR believer but you could actually feel each individual raindrop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;\">These products are not yet available to the public. Once they go on the market, however, and once virtual reality becomes mainstream, you will be fully \u201cin\u201d the game. Full immersion isn\u2019t just close- it\u2019s here.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ethan S., Age 15 The movie Ready Player One was about fully immersive VR (virtual reality).
