# Smart Textile Gaming Suits The Teslasuit Lets Consumers Sense Virtual World Feedback Through Touch By M | Published 2016-01-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-suit References: [thisiswhyimbroke](http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/full-body-haptic-suit) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/247607504/teslasuit-feel-what-you-play/description) The Teslasuit is a gaming suit design put together by the Tesla Studios that allows consumers to physically feel and interact with virtual experiences and settings. The suit is made with smart fabrics that have an electro-tactile design that allows the wearer to feel and experience touch in virtual settings as if they were real. The suit works in conjunction with virtual reality technology to provide a more seamless and well-rounded interactive experience. The gaming suit design looks more like activewear than a traditional suit with a tight fitted jumper, vest and pants that fit closely to the body for a skin-like wear. The suit interacts with the game the user is playing, allowing the wearer to sense through touch objects, places and items in the virtual world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of virtual reality technology with smart fabrics to create immersive and interactive experiences. - **Electro-tactile Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new applications for electro-tactile technology in various industries like healthcare, entertainment, and training. - **Seamless Interactive Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create seamless interactive experiences by combining smart textiles, virtual reality, and touch feedback technology. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine gaming experiences by incorporating touch feedback technology using smart textile gaming suits. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce smart fabrics and electro-tactile design in the fashion industry to enhance sensory experiences and interactivity of clothing. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply smart textile technology and electro-tactile design in healthcare settings to improve patient rehabilitation and virtual therapy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metaverse-Ready Bodysuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shockwave-vr.md) - [Haptic Response Gamer Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owo-haptic-vest.md) - [Haptic Feedback VR Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owo-vest.md) - [Tactile VR Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactglove.md) - [Branded Haptic Feedback Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owo-the-crew-edition.md) - [Audio-Detecting Haptic Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinetic.md) - [Collaborative Haptic Feedback Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subpac-beat-saber.md) - [Haptic Feedback VR Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptx-g1.md) - [Game-Inspired Haptic Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptic-shirt.md)
