I used a haptic vest for gaming - here’s how it went
Apr 18, 2025
Virtual reality games and headsets are more popular than they’ve ever been, with certain titles making full use of the medium to deliver a thoroughly engaging experience. For tech enthusiasts who love trying out accessories, there are plenty of other ways besides VR headsets to make your gaming sessions more immersive, including companion apps and multi-monitor setups.
Capable of providing physical feedback in accordance with your in-game actions, a haptic VR vest is one such device that lets you enhance the realism of your beloved titles. After testing the Woojer Vest 3 over the last two weeks, I have to admit that it’s a solid addition to any gaming enthusiast's setup – provided you’re willing to strap a 3-pound vest to your torso.
The Vest 3 is perfect for sim racing fans
Combine it with Shutoko Revival Project, and you're in for a ride
During the thousands of hours I’ve spent in Automobilista, Assetto Corsa, and Dirt Rally 2.0, I’ve used everything from driving wheels to button boxes to make my sim racing sessions as immersive as possible. The Woojer Vest 3 was the best addition to my sim racing tool collection, second only to my Oculus Meta Quest 2. The Vest 3 packs six transducers that can oscillate independently at varying intensities. While we're on the subject, it relies on audio input and can transmit sound as physical vibrations to select transducers. This means you'll experience directional haptic feedback if your games support 5.1 or 7.1 audio.
