VR Body Suit

VR Body Suits. To actually feel the pain or the sense of being touched. Being scratched by a dog.
Is Virtuix Omni planning to create something like a VR Body Suit?
I came across Agraig and tesla suit who are starting to do these things.

The closest compromise would be a suit that rumbles and buzzes in ROUGHLY the areas you get hit in the game, but that's a crap ton of motors to be worn all over your body, and either it will be ridiculously heavy and cumbersome, or the motors will be too small to really be felt properly, unless you wear the suit immediately against your skin, which will require constant washing if you want to play with any regularity (don't forget how much harder you'll be sweating when you actually have to run as much as your character does)
Of course, if you're wearing the suit immediately against your skin, you could put in a few electro zap pulses like what those goofy exercise belts do, but despite what sales pitches and commercials would have you believe, this actually don't feel like much of anything if you have even a little bit of body fat in the way, and usually requires a water based gel to cover all the various electrodes.
This is just one of those things that is doomed to never have an actual future, not because it's not technically feasible to do, but because even dedicated fans of the concept will decide it's not worth the inconvenience to do after trying it for a month, if they even bother to get to the point where they try it at all, which means that there will never be enough of an audience for any developer to justify the effort of programming any DECENT game with support for it.
I do believe there are certain games that would be enhanced by pain. DayZ for example. This is a game that makes you feel alive by tapping into your survival instincts. It fills you with trepidation. I have slunk between trees and rocks, wending my way from resource to resource, often under the cover of night, praying I will locate another gillie suit - all because I know the moment I step out into the open, I will likely be shot down - killed by one shot usually to the head.
I felt this need for caution even without the prospect of a moment's shock and pain. How much more powerful would the fear be, if pain accompanied the sniper's bullet? As my fear of death increases, would my enjoyment and appreciation of simply being alive increase with it? Virtual Reality is an emotion amplifier, and I now look to haptics to take my experience to another level, just as the Vive and the Omni have done.
