[games_access] Feel games...

[Kestrell]

I wonder if this has any potential use for medical training programs--it would allow medical care providers to experience to some degree the sort of symtoms their patients experience, which could go a long way to addressing medical care providers opinions about the level of pain and discomfort a patient is feeling.

  Wow, that's amazing... not just for acessibility, but to create REALLY imersive games...
  Even though I wouldn't want to test that "feel the cockroaches crawling up your arm" thing... eeew.
  Any bets on how many years 'till something like that hits the market?

    "Computer graphics already provide stunning visuals and now designers are trying to make the feeling of playing games as realistic as possible.
    This includes simulating what it feels like to be sliced with a sword or to have cockroaches crawling on your arm.

    Designers Hirouki Kajimoto and Kanako Matsuo spoke to the BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani about this latest innovation. "
