A startup from India raised money on Kickstarter for the release of VR suits

The Indian company Kaaya Tech plans to release HoloSuit gloves and suits for virtual reality by November of this year. The minimum goal of the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign was achieved in less than a week.

HoloSuit wireless suits have from 26 to 36 sensors, nine feedback devices, and six built-in buttons on each finger.

The developers assume that, first of all, the suit will be used for training in various fields. For example, such a suit can be used to practice golf or karate strokes, in medicine it is useful for test operations, with its help you can work out situations such as rescuing people in a fire.

The developers do not say anything about the gaming potential of HoloSuit, which is not surprising – the project is still a test and has a rather social orientation, and the cost of costumes is quite high – from one thousand to eight thousand dollars. Now the project has only 34 backers, and he has already scored $ 60 thousand.
