One thing sim racing cannot really replicate well is the sensory feedback drivers get from their seat. Sensit! aims to change this - Michel has caught up with them at SimRacing Expo 2024!
Often mentioned, never really simulated - g-forces and that seat-of-the-pants feeling real racing drivers experience in the car are not easy to replicate. Yet, Sensit! is trying to do just that: Their haptic feedback system makes seats come alive to give sim racers more of an idea what their car is doing.
To achieve this, their system uses telemetry data from the sim itself to simulate the experience that racing drivers often describe - namely that you feel that the car is about to step out in you behind first before the steering becomes noticeably lighter, for instance. How does this work? Join @Michel Wolk who had a chat with Sensit! founder Benjamin Heese at SimRacing Expo.
