First truly immersive video game hardware drains your blood when you get shot!
A new controller that reroutes the electrical signal meant to trigger the rumbling sensation in the game controllers, instead turning on blood collection system that is actually hooked into your veins
Forgot wearing silly VR headset's like the Rift, when here comes along a new type of controller that will really put you right into the heart of the video gaming world, as it sucks the blood out of you as you play, of course if you good no worries, but if you not you will be donating alot of blood for a good cause.
Blood Sport is a device that draws real blood every time you're shot in your video game. If its Kickstarter is successful, it'll raise the stakes in shooters forever, and save a whole lot of lives in the process.
Creators Jonathon Root and James Jarvis plan to bring the machine to gaming events in Canada, where they will collect precious gamer blood to be donated to blood banks across the country.
Here's how it works, according to the Kickstarter:
"It's stupidly simple. Remember the rumble pack? Well, nowadays most video game controllers rumble when you get shot in the game. That rumbling means that an electrical signal is being sent to the controller to let you know you've been hit. All we're doing is re-routing that same electrical signal and using it to turn on the blood collection system."
Whenever the controller shakes, you lose blood. The machine, which is still just a prototype, measures how much blood is actually drawn, "So that Blood Sport powers down before you do."
Root's ambitious project would also pit gaming celebrities against one another to prove they're the best - or pay in blood.
Ok....This is just so off the wall crazy it just might end up being successful, so if you like the idea of losing your blood to a good cause, help out the developers by funding their Kickstarter project.
