Have you ever wondered what it feels like to get punched in the stomach during a boxing match? Well, you can experience it now, wearing a Teslasuit. The prices start at $1,500 and the suits can be bought in Dubai.

Consisting of a full sleeve-vest and long pants, the suits are on display at the Dubai AI week that began on Monday. Wearers can experience getting in the ring and throwing punches with British world boxing champion Amir Khan, using a combina-tion of the suit, VR glasses and a haptic controller.

The sensors placed in the suit will deliver electric pulses to the forearm, stomach and back, creating the sensation of getting punched. The controller helps to punch back. The ring is located in the centre of a huge auditorium with hundreds of spectators. Every punch brings forth cheers and applause from the crowds.

Headquartered in UK, the company, Teslasuit, is now looking to expand in the UAE.
