<p>Assassin’s Creed: Mirage comes with support for something called an <a href=“https://owogame.com/”>OWO</a>, which is a haptic vest. I had seen it mentioned here and there, this specific vest, but I wasn’t super paying attention because I had a sense I already understood it. I do think they’re cool - even the haptics possible on an iPhone are way more detailed than I expected, and the stuff that comes through a PS5 controller is startlingly detailed, but these are all novel motors wiggling something. This fuckin’ vest apparently has “<a href=“https://www.makeuseof.com/how-owo-haptic-vest-will-enhance-vr/”>high conductivity electrodes that use electrical impulses</a>” to wirelessly communicate a range of sensations from the prickles of insects to the entry and exit wounds of a bullet. It delivers these things to games via direct support (more rare currently, mostly indie) or mods (for higher profile games like Fortnite or Valorant).</p>
