Watch the show.Ok, so Festo shows off their carbon fibre "muscular" tubing may not be very 'gadgety' but when it's this much fun, who cares?

Wow!
Now that looks fun.
But there's a few questions I'd like to ask:
1) Is that ever gonna be available to us?
2) How is it set up and linked to the game?
3) When can I come and have a go?
The tubes... Yes
The chair.. Nope - He said it was just for demo purposes.
I wish I knew. Maybe there's someone under the chair controlling it all with comedy sized levers.

..Love the fact no one's commented on the stone man having a go in the background at the start of the video
aah, model penguins..
should feel right at home round my house
A mech eng housemate of mine at uni was using these (can't remember if they were Festo or not) to create a prototype of a knee brace exoskeleton, the intention of which was to assist with exercises for knee injury patients.
It was pretty cool stuff - the PWM'd air valves were quite noisy though.
Would love to get that chair setup along with 3 screens - the ultimate racing chair
The remote controlled penguin on the other hand... not quite so useful!
