An Input Device for playing Pinball and Arcade Games with haptic feedback in VR
Are you a Pinball Enthusiast but you can’t have your own Pinball table at home?
Here is my solution to play Pinball in Virtual Reality!
This prototype uses severeal haptic feedback techniques to deliver a very realistic experience.
The shown protoype was build as part of a project for my university. For this early Prototype I modified a Phillips Virtual Pinball. Everything but the housing was replaced during build.
In 2015 and 2016 this prototype was shown at several Virtual Reality Meetups within Europe and recieved a very positive response. I currently consider turnin the prototype in a product which migh be produced in a small series.

Hello. This is beautiful work. I have checked out your VR website but don’t see any products for sale. Would you be willing to make one for me ? Name your price. I don’t have the knowledge to build my own or I would. None the less your work is amazing. Keep it up.

Wow this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Seems there are a few projects for a pinball controller but none are available to purchase. Would love to have something like this if you want to make a few.

Thank you! I’m afraid the current version would not work on a ps4, but it would be possible to get it working, I think
