Assume you are enjoying a web based recreation like Name of Responsibility or perhaps a VR recreation like Forefront and wish to really feel the capturing and explosions, however not the voices of the opposite gamers. Woojer already robotically cancels out issues like voices and music whereas gaming as a result of it understands that players wish to really feel results, not ambient music or different gamers’ voices.
Conversely, if you happen to’re enjoying a recreation like Lumines Come up in your Steam Deck, the pumping bass of the music will completely vibrate into your internal soul because of the Woojer Vest 4.

You may also use Bluetooth to wirelessly stream your music to the vest.
And that is it! There is not any different configuration wanted except you wish to choose a selected mode or change settings within the Woojer app. It is impressively easy and is much simpler than how older haptic vests and straps used to work.
