So I got this silly idea and to a game suit and wondered if its possible to add weight to the suit and change that weight so basicly to a point on your body will have a certain weight we can change...

I know this seems unrealstic but really we gotten so far in technologic so I just gotta ask XD

 

is it clear?

 

else basicly:

I want to change the weight electronically xD

    Depends on what your trying to control

    If your trying to simulate an increase in gravity then the water method and plumbing may work in order to make you feel heavier in specific parts of the body

    If your trying to simulate say lifting heavy objects vs lighter ones or walking up hill vs down then using electro mechanical techniques could be employed

    so in the case of the exoskeleton motors or electromagnets could be used to augment or resist your movement thereby simulating a varying load/weight

     

    sounds like an interesting project but may require loads of batteries or wired power image

    First, how are you going to lift a heavy sword in the game? You can't actually get into the screen. If you are using a controller like the PS move, simply have a switch and have different weight controllers
