TeslaSuit Plugin

Teslasuit is a full-body haptic feedback suit that uses electric impulses to create sensations, traces the body motions, and captures the user's biometrics.

The TeslaSuit plugin provides integration with the suit and related software.

The plugin allows controlling the Teslasuit service receiving the following types of data:

• User motions
• Haptic feedback
• Biometry
• Information about the suit
