Call of Duty themed haptic feedback vest puts you in the war

Haptic and sonic accessory specialist Woojer has partnered with Activision to create a surprising product that will expand your Call of Duty experience. Fans can pick up a Call of Duty-branded Woojer vest and strap, releasing just in time for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The limited-edition wearables, which are variations on Woojer’s usual line of haptic gear, feature a green camouflage pattern. Both have wireless output and can be connected to Bluetooth headphones with up to 7.1-channel surround sound to create tactile vibrations on your body. That means you’ll feel every shot you fire—and the ones that hit you.

Woojer describes the haptics as a technology designed to “provide the most immersive gaming experience possible.” It states that its strap, in particular, “transmits the sensation of the sound of every gunshot, footstep, explosion, or even delicate raindrops, as if it were really there.” The vest takes it a bit further by focusing the haptic on different parts of the body.

“Woojer’s precision audio-based haptics work immediately with an advanced DSP algorithm to detect sound type and direction as encoded in the audio stream,” Woojer says in a blog post. “The Woojer device then reproduces the sound sensation on the user’s body in one location if they are using the strap, and from six unique locations if they are wearing the vest.”

If you’ve ever wanted to go that extra mile with your Call of Duty haptics, Woojer’s haptics kit can be pre-ordered on its site for a limited time only, starting at $179.
