Did someone say feel-o-vision? I have an idea how this could work:
You would have to have a suit with several vibration pads built in. These would be about 1/2" x 1/2" and they would cover the entire coveralls. A sensor could pick up IR commands from the TV set and the IR signals would activate various vibration pads at varying intensity such as from an intensity of 1 (feels like a bug on you) to 5 (feels rougher than a cellphone vibrate). Duration would also be controlled as well.
Here are some examples of when the suit would be activated: You're watching The Mummy and the sandstorm starts blowing towards the screen. The entire suit starts to vibrate and the intensity increases until the sandstorm passes. How about you are watching a movie that has many small bugs like roaches or spiders and the various vibration pads start moving in small specific wandering directions at low intensity. Just makes you want to jump up and shake them off of you! How about you're watching the SuperBowl and an end zone camera shows the receiver making the catch and you feel the "whump" of the ball on your chest?
Don't say it can't happen.
*The HD version will have 1/8" x 1/8" vibration pads.
To some extent, this is already here.
