The Skyrim player who has built a suit to feel the same pain as their character

For a long time, video game companies have wanted us to feel more and more immersed in the experiences. Virtual reality, 3D, giant screens at 60 frames per second… We live in a world full of possibilities, but there are those who believe that we can always go one step further. And if there is a possibility, it must be carried out, right? Well, I leave it up to you to decide.

Introducing GingasVR, a player of Skyrim in virtual reality who, after spending $15,000 on the most immersive equipment possible to play her favorite video game, has decided to enhance it by purchasing a haptic device that produces real damage using electrodes attached directly to the skin and that are connected to what is happening in the video game. In other words, she has invented a suit to feel the same pain as her character.

In fact, in one of the videos she has posted, we can see her suffering on the floor while a dragon scorches her on the screen and she repeats “It’s very painful.” Someone urgently needs to go outside and touch grass. Real, not virtual. It’s not all pain: another haptic suit produces vibrations for the most pleasurable sensations, and it has included a simulation of wind and temperature so that nothing escapes from her immersion. Welcome to the VDSM. The “V” stands for “Video games”.
