Kotaku reports that the army has contracted a military simulation game that will taser you when you die in the simulator, presumably so the people they’re training will stop grabbing the rocket launcher and trying to rocket jump into a kamikazi raid on blue base.
If a player fails to kill an enemy in time and the enemy is able to shoot back, the simulator delivers a powerful electric shock through the player’s hips. You definitely know you have been hit,” Mr Haag said. “It has the same power as a stun gun. It knocks you down.
“You have to continue to work through the pain and keep on fighting, as that is what you need to do – to keep on fighting even when wounded…
Mr Haag said the US military had embraced the technology as trainees were getting rapid heart rates, sweaty palms and fear during the simulation, just like they might get if they were shot.”
Now THAT’S force feedback.
