Introduction and Project Summary

Games are a storytelling medium, just like how movies have visual effects and books use words to stimulate your imagination. In games, you have audio, visuals, and user interaction to provide a form of entertainment that can be enjoyed by virtually everyone. We aim to increase the amount of user interaction in the desktop game,  The Last Spartan, so users feel more immersed in the story by adding feeling to this typically desktop-confined game experience.

To add a more sophisticated tactile feedback that supports  desktop game, we plan to build a Haptic suit designed in the form of a wearable vest. This vest should be responsive to the following physical stimuli:

  • Low health
  • Getting hit by small enemies
  • Getting hit by large enemies
  • Forceful jump
