The Tesla Suit

The video on their site is terrible. It's some kind of artsy impression of what you could do with the suit. That's all fine, but it gives the impression that the suit is just some kind of band that you pull around your chest and then lights up.

Furthermore, there is no way that they can do all the things they imply in the movie. Getting hit by an arrow, or feeling like drowning is going to take a lot more than just a flimsy suit with haptic feedback.

A steal on the Tesla name. Nothing to see here, once I read washable it was kind of obvious that this is vaporware

I hear what you're saying about Elon Musk's Tesla company and brand. But listen to what you're saying - someone took a man's name and made a company on it and now you're saying another company can't do the same thing cause the first company is already associated with the man's name.

At least electric cars and tesla and musk have a connection... Elon and tesla are both idealists that hope their work will change the world and it will. Electric cars are about transitioning to using electricity to run cars, tesla discovered ac and his work transitioned much of the modern world to electricity. This site has nothing to do with any of that.

I think the underlying meaning of the comment was the timing is unlucky.

With Tesla Motors being highly popular and roughly in the same sector. At least one of them isn't applicable to the other comparison.

Combined with an unrealistic product, it's a bit tricky.

'A steal' doesn't have the same meaning as 'stealing' I think? But I'm not native English.

This feels more like an art school hoax.

It does. Also kinda lost interest after reading the word Bluetooth. High latency is the last thing you want in body augmentations.

At least they had the sense to mount the ARM cortex controller on the arm of the suit.

Looking at the video and considering that the link to their Twitter at the bottom of the page leads nowhere, I concur.

I'm currently re-reading Ready Player One and all I can think about is the Oasis and Haptic Suits... Looks pretty interesting but I think that delivery window looks a little too optimistic...

I thought it was related to tesla motors.

The video did no justice to whatever they were trying to sell.

Wow, Belarussian developers seem quite capable! Trippy video though.
