• The Lawnmower Man — VR rig (gyro chair, headset, full-body cybersuit) (1992-03-06) — lawnmower-man-vr-cybersuit [fictional] — The Lawnmower Man (New Line Cinema), released 6 March 1992; a virtual-reality rig comprising a motorized gyroscopic chair, a head-mounted display, and a full-body ‘cybersuit’ that tracks the wearer’s …

  Ready Player One full-body haptic suit and visor (2011-08-16)

• id: ready-player-one-haptic-suit
• corpus: fictional
• form factor: garment
• creator: Ernest Cline
• disclosure: Cline, Ernest. Ready Player One. Crown Publishers, 2011 — a head-mounted VR visor plus a full-body haptic-feedback suit (with haptic gloves and boots) that renders touch sensations across the wearer’s body and tracks body motion for immersive virtual presence.
• ip status: fictional
• sensors: sensor-accelerometer, sensor-gyroscope
• prior art notes: Discloses an integrated VR rig: a near-eye display visor plus a full-body garment with distributed haptic actuators and distributed motion sensors, providing whole-body force/tactile feedback registered to a virtual environment and capturing the wearer’s posture and gestures. Relevant to haptic-garment claims combining ‘a body-worn garment’, ‘an array of haptic actuators at multiple body sites’, ‘motion sensors capturing body pose’, and ‘coupling to a head-mounted display’. § 103 motivation that the full-body haptic VR suit was an articulated objective by 2011.
