Ubisoft works in collaboration with OWO to launch a special Assassin's Creed Mirage edition of a haptic shirt complete with unique feedback. When wearers put on the top, they will be able to feel parkour, and impacts, as what the company describes as "exclusive sensations never felt before."
The shirt features haptic points that are marked at the chest, lower back, stomach, and arms. The idea is to rely on an algorithm that alters nine wave parameters in order to activate interactions including wind or a dagger. To properly calibrate the experience and sensations to specific games or customize it, users are to control it through the mobile app. The game is set to launch on October 12th and the shirt will have a game code.
