Player builds ultimate Skyrim setup and now even feels pain when hit

Thanks to electrodes, Skyrim becomes a painful experience for a streamer.

The Skyrim VR streamer GingasVR has already spent more than $15,000 some time ago to create one of the most immersive virtual reality setups in the world. As a new video reveals, she has now taken this equipment to a completely new and unique level with an upgrade.

Virtual hits, real pain

The older version of their super setup was already more than impressive. Through a combination of Vive trackers and mods that change item physics, the streamer's actions can be converted into precise in-game movements.

Fans also detect the weather in the game and simulate the wind power. A haptic vest makes it possible to feel sensations directly on the body when using objects such as food or during actions such as punches.

Immersion on a new level: Thanks to a second haptic vest, it is now possible for GingasVR to feel real pain when it is damaged. The streamer published an entertaining introduction video via X (formerly Twitter) in which she travels with an AI companion and takes a lot of damage:

As the video shows, the second uses haptic vest Electrodes that release painful electric shocks when hit. These vary depending on the type of damage. For example, in one part of the video, the streamer jumps off a slope and receives a powerful electric shock in her legs from the fall damage.

Towards the end of the clip, GingasVR meets a nasty, fire-breathing dragon. After he grills her thoroughly, the streamer uses the power of creative mods and takes revenge with a gun. Her screams make it clear that GingaVR will think twice before taking on a giant smoking lizard in the future.

In addition to the setup, GingasVR's AI companion also ensures that the game world of Skyrim feels significantly more immersive. By reacting dynamically to the streamer's actions and sentences, a much more realistic and lively gaming experience is created. We can't wait to see what mods and creative ideas will make the setup even more immersive in the future.
