Oh neat, it looks like someone got it kind of working by using some extra cameras on their avatar for depth and a shader that outputs flashing red dots at the top of the screen, that an external program then monitors and interprets. Very cool hacky workaround for that. For those curious though, no it is not officially supported.

what is Phantom Touch?

"Phantom Touch is continued experience of sensations and presence of a missing limb often occurring after amputation; it is frequently referred to as a phantom limb." - Scholarpedia

Or in short, when you feel something that isn't there. That can occur in VR more easily, due to how our brain is wired. If we see limbs moving inside the game, the same way we do outside of it, there can occur the sensation that these are in fact 'our' limbs and a faint sensation to our body of what happens on the screen can occur.

Some people suffer this in more extreme cases.

I think I found the device that you are refering towards:

Its a haptic feedback vest + sleeves for the arms. While I don't know the exact details on how it works, it might be worth checking into.

It's like how @Squid mentioned above, I think he saw the very same thing already, just check what he described Also, if you want more details I can check it slightly for you if you want, but I don't think there are too much to explain furthers though

I think @bHaptics above should take the chance to say more if he really is the guy from the crop that's making the suit btw, I think many will really interesting on such devices xD
