This haptic shirt allows you to feel a video game

It’s based on microsensations that together create an immersive experience.

What if you could actually feel all the sensations of a video game? That’s what the OWO haptic shirt displayed at this year’s Electronics Consumer Show (CES) 2023 allows you to do.

“The result; a deep level of immersion you won’t find anywhere else.”

“Unlike other haptics that use vibration to reproduce one sensation, OWO is the only company that can reproduce an infinite number of realistic physical sensations. And since each body is different, you can calibrate the sensations to make your experience unique,” said the invention’s CES page.

Researchers use virtual reality games to detect ADHD symptoms in children

Minor tweaks could expand its scope of applications to other conditions, such as autism.

Researchers used virtual reality (VR) games to diagnose attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through differences in eye movements, according to a press release published by Aalto University. This method could potentially be utilized as a basis for ADHD treatment and, with minor tweaks, to assess other conditions like autism.

ADHD is a common attention disorder that affects six million U.S. children between the ages of 3 and 17 years, according to a national survey of parents.

Soon You’ll Be Able to Make Your Own Feature-Length Movie With AI

2023: amateur movies, TV, books, & games.

2030: all above, and more, at professional level quality.

There’s a new Knives Out movie on Netflix, and I still haven’t seen a few of this season’s awards contenders. But the film I most wish I could watch right now is Squid Invasion From the Deep. It’s a sci-fi thriller directed by John Carpenter about a team of scientists led by Sigourney Weaver who discover an extraterrestrial cephalopod and then die one by one at its tentacles. The production design was inspired by Alien and The Thing; there are handmade creature FX and lots of gore; Wilford Brimley has a cameo. Unfortunately, though, I can’t see this movie, and neither can you, because it doesn’t exist.

For now, Squid Invasion is just a portfolio of concept art conjured by a redditor using Midjourney, an artificial-intelligence tool that creates images from human-supplied text prompts.

ChatGPT Makes History: First AI to Write & Direct Film

In a groundbreaking achievement, Aaron Kemmer and his co-producer Richard Juan have successfully used ChatGPT, one of today’s hottest artificial intelligence chatbots, to write and direct a film in just one weekend.

That’s right, while it typically takes roughly 1–2.5 months for most indie filmmakers to pull off a project of this caliber, ChatGPT has truly raised the bar and set a new standard for what’s possible in the world of indie filmmaking.

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since its launch, but few creatives have truly explored its full potential. Juan and Kemmer are breaking new barriers by using AI to revolutionize film production.
