Feel a Punch with Real Impact, Virtual-Reality Punch

Virtual-reality is basically replicates an environment that pretends physical occurrence in places in the real world or imagined worlds and lets the user interact in that world.

Impacto, a prototype developed by researchers in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) lab at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany.

Patrick Baudisch says, It's like an illusion. Baudisch gets Impacto as a prototype for future gaming or telepresence interfaces.

The technology consists of an armband that combines a tap or vibration on the skin with electrical muscle stimulus to push or pull the user’s member in a way that is a physical impact.

The first traces of virtual reality came from the world of science fiction.

The use of sound, graphics and input technology in video games can be incorporated into virtual reality. Virtual Reality is also used in aircraft simulation for the Air Force where people are trained to be pilots.
