8, AxonVR uniform

It includes jackets, gloves, pants, and boots that provide tactile, thermal feedback. The garments are lined with thousands of "pixels", each of which provides separate pressure and thermal stimuli to mimic different materials and temperatures.

In order for the player to feel the change in spatial position, the costume can be fixed in a set of metal exoskeletons. The tactile feedback of the sole also allows you to feel the natural walking experience, even though you are fixed in the air by the mechanical suspension during the game. In addition, this exoskeleton is equipped with a rope connected to AxonSuit, which can provide tension from multiple dimensions, which allows you to truly feel the weight of the object in the virtual world.
