Ceekars 4D headphones

Ceekars 4D headphones are like Oculus Rift for your ears.

  I just read up on an amazing piece of technology called the Ceekars 4D headphones, the smart headphones are designed to bring a new level of immersion to virtual reality, gaming and other media through haptic feedback and a more immersive sound technology. As a chronic gamer this is the best and most interesting project I've seen for 2015,  but relatively little has been done so far in terms of auditory immersion. While it’s true that Oculus’ latest prototype is adding positional audio to the equation, the visual side of things is unquestionably getting the lion’s share of focus from VR developers, so one does feel there may be room for more dramatic improvements in the audio domain.

 Okay, so a little about how it works. Using a patented "4D sound" technology, Ceekars 4D headphones try to take the idea of surround sound systems further than ever before to make sounds feel like an integral and dynamic part of the environment. Another noteworthy feature is the use of haptic feedback inside the headphones’ headband. Here, an embedded actuator applies motions, pressures and vibrations based on sound intensity and range, for yet another level of immersion. The idea here is that you can now hear and feel the rumble of a passing train or feel the vibration as a rocket takes off from the ground (or tries to land, for that matter).

 This is something am looking forward to seeing work out, some time soon. What are your thoughts?
