To continue with their new gaming accessorizes line to "immerse players" TN games has created the HTX Helmet designed to let you feel your virtual headshots in real life
"The HTX Helmet is worn in conjunction with the 3rd Space Gaming Vest and delivers blows to the head when you are fired upon. Feel bullets whizzing by your helmet or the impact of getting shot in the head. The helmet will communicates with compatible games to give precise, 3 dimensionally accurate impacts where it happens, as it happens"
Last year they came out with a vest that simulated being hit with ten pounds of pressure, straight to your gut.
I personally don't have any interest in any of these, but the helmet would at least have some practical use, possibly in the FPS genre. If you could feel what direction the bullets were coming from, combined with a good surround system, it might give you a slight edge in competition, I guess?
Unfortunately, it can't help you from looking like a total twat while using it. I'll say this is only for the rich and bored.

I wonder what games are actually compatable with this piece of pointless crap? (Bet anyone my copies of Gitaroo Man and Gitaroo Man Lives that its Crysis.)
