The Synk X, a gaming chair from Cooler Master, will offer “real-time tactile experiences” by transforming low latency sound waves into vibrations that produce haptic feedback.
During CES 2022, Razer introduced the idea of a haptic feedback gaming chair that makes use of the same technology as VR controllers. And Cooler Master is currently working to make that idea a reality..
The chair includes seven different ARGB lighting options, a 135 degree recline, and Bluetooth compatibility. These numerous functions can also be controlled by an internal controller.
Although we don’t yet know when Synk X will be available, more details about the chair should be available soon. We might be looking at one of the best gaming chairs available if it lives up to the promise.
Could the future of gaming involve haptic chairs?
By changing the vibrational feedback to match what you’re “supposed” to experience during the game, VR haptic feedback, which is already a marvel of gaming technology, may provide players a variety of sensations. It works incredibly well with VR devices when used in conjunction with the Sense Glove and controllers.
Therefore, it makes sense that the next step would be to integrate that technology with a piece of equipment that is always in contact with your body. To imitate the acceleration and bumps of a race chair or even a car crash, for example, in a racing game. Many other genres might also use it to good effect.
It would be amazing to watch the effect that haptic feedback chairs may have on gaming between Cooler Master and Razer.
