Valkyrie has been in development for its VR suit and has created a prototype. The design features exposed wires and wearable tech that provides haptic feedback.
Many VR designs focus on providing immersive gaming experiences to customers, however, Valkarie takes a different approach. The company designed its own VR suit for professional use, which would work towards bolstering efficiency. Industrial applications for the suite could also include training for dangerous or highly complex jobs. This would allow companies to train employees with far less risk.
The VR suit implements electrical impulses that interact with muscles. This interaction stimulates the user in order to simulate resistance and touch sensation. The suit is in development and the prototype has the nickname the 'Iron MAn v. 1.'
