bHaptics

bHaptics is one of the most innovative and leading companies in the field of haptic feedback. The TactSuit is a vest with 40 individual feedback points; 20 at the front and 20 at the back of the suit. At the back of the vest, there is a battery that lasts approximately 10 hours per gaming session. The battery can be easily and quickly recharged via a USC-C cable. The TactSuit can be connected to a laptop, PC, tablet, or phone via a Bluetooth connection. This Bluetooth connection ensures that you can play games worry-free and with a completely wireless connection!

With the TactSuit, players can feel vibrations, movements, and sound effects from the game as if they were real. There are two different modes that a player can use. In the first mode, the feedback works based on the 7.1 surround-sound in a game or film. You can easily adjust the intensity of the feedback and choose to filter out effects such as footsteps or your own gunshots. 

The second way the TactSuit works with haptic feedback is via native game-ondersteuning. bHaptics, in collaboration with certain developers, has standard out-of-the-box support for the haptic feedback of the TactSuit. When you start the game, you will see that the bHaptics software also starts immediately. A good example of this game is Sairento VR. At the moment, bHaptics has a collaboration with 12 different VR-games. A complete overview of native-supported bHaptics games can be found in this overview. 

The TactSuit consists of a few different components. The most striking element is the haptic vest, but there are also two arm-stukken, a haptic face mask for the headset, and shoes and gloves with haptic feedback available. Combine all elements for a full haptic TactSuit-ervaring. 

The products of bHaptics perform best when you play a first-person shooter game. The haptic feedback in your arms ensures that you feel the sensation of shooting vibrating through your arms and body. This really adds a whole new dimension to the VR game-ervaring and is something that every VR-fanatiekeling should experience. 

The TactSuit from bHaptics is not only intended for gamers. Music lovers can also have a lot of fun with the haptic feedback. By turning on Audio To Haptics on the TactSuit, you feel all the vibrations to the rhythm of the music. Set the intensity of the feedback yourself and immerse yourself even more in the rhythm of the music. 

bHaptics has several different additions to make the experience as complete as possible. At the moment, within Europe, only the haptic vest, the face mask, and the arm-sleeves are exclusively available to order at Unbound VR. To make the experience as complete as possible, we recommend using the entire package. 

Compared to other well-known and larger brands, bHaptics has a relatively small line-up. But the products they offer are of high quality and clearly show what virtual reality is capable of in 2020. Perhaps the consumenten-markt will have to wait a little longer until more games are compatible with the haptic feedback, but for professional and business VR-gebruikers, the products of bHaptics are definitely a great addition to the current range!
