This technology sounds kind of amazing. Its a device that you hang on your chest when you are watching a movie and it sends barely noticeable vibrations that can trigger sensations and emotions because it activates the part of the brain responsible for emotion and sense of self. Thus, watching a movie, you will feel a lot more immersed in the movie. It works for normal movies with normal sound but will make you have a much more intense experience. Sounds really cool, but also kind of scary: do I really want to physically realistically feel like I'm being shot at, drowning, heart broken, etc?
The maker is trying to sell it to airlines as it would make time go faster if you are so immersed in the movie.
