The Aura Interactor is a wearable force-feedback device developed by Aura Systems that monitors an audio signal and uses Aura's patented electromagnetic actuator technology to convert low frequency audio information into vibrations that can represent actions such as a punch or kick. It was compatible with the Super NES and Sega Genesis. It is the first commercially available haptic suit, released on September 5, 1994.
The Interactor was successful, with more than 400,000 units sold. It received an "Innovation 94" Design and Engineering Award from the Electronics Industry Association. Electronic Gaming Monthly commented, "For $100, the Interactor is a good value. It provides economy-sized virtual reality in a small package." GamePro stated, "If droppin' a C-note is no bother to you, the Aura Interactor serves its purpose." The device was found to work well with VR i-Glasses plugged in. (Source: Wikipedia)
