Hey Pin-Fans!
I created this post to tell you about my project VR-PinCade:
I'm building the perfect Pinball and Arcade Games controller with immersive haptic Feedback - designed for Virtual Reality!
VR-PinCade uses multiple techniques to create a unique and very immersive haptic feedback that makes you feel like you are playing on a real machine!
It allows you to play every table (with simulations like Pinball Arcade or PinballFX2 VR) in a very realistic way.

- YOU can help to define the product by answering this survey (link below) - no matter if you'd be interested in owning one or not)

VR-PinCade Survey: https://surveymonkey.com/r/VR-PinCade-Survey

Already back in 2015, I built a first working prototype which received very positive feedback at several VR-Meetups (2nd picture). Now this project has become the final topic of project of my studies. So based on the 2015 prototype I'm now developing a product which I'm planning to sell in parts or as a complete set.
The first image shows the current technical prototype which is currently used to evaluate which parts or techniques to use (so not much time was spent on the visual design of this prototype).

The survey is in English, if you have any questions or problems, feel free to contact me!

Hi!
Thanks for your responses!
Sorry that I did not respond earlier I was quite busy today and didn't had a chance to come back to this thread earlier...

### Available Games:
At this point there's Pinball FX 2 VR for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift
And there's Zaccaria Pinball which has some official licensed tables.
Then there are some Indie Games for the Vive:
Pinball Inside: A VR Arcade Game
Evolution Pinball VR: The Summoning
--> Pinball Arcade announced Oculus Rift support last year.

And my controller works with all of as it's designed to be very universal!

PS: Farsight Studios released Stern Pinball Arcade VR for GearVR (a mobile VR Headset)

### Am I developing a Game myself?
I will have the hardware build and sell it but I won't make a Pinball Game. (I might develop a tech demo of what I imagine would be a perfect Pinball Game in VR, but that would just be a small demo. (In the hope that some established pinball developer will pick my ideas up etc.)

### Price:
I can't name a price at this point, as I'm asking you for your price expectations in the survey

### Real Pinball only:
Of course a real table is always better. But I for example currently live in a flat where just don't have the space to set one up. And with my controller I can play many different tables without the need for a large basement. Also, while I personally prefer to play virtual recreations of real tables, Pinball FX2 VR does a nice job of creating fictive tables with some nice gadgets and toys that only work in VR. For Example if you play the zombie themed Walking Dead table, there's an actual Zombie standing next to the pinball table.

I hope that answers all questions so far.

Hey, demos are definitely on my list. Specially because it's very hard to express, how playing Pinball in VR with such a controller feels like, without letting people try it.
The controller is currently not yet for sale, I'm mainly posting because I want your thoughts & opinions of it: https://surveymonkey.com/r/VR-PinCade-Survey
At this point you can still shape and influence the product
