SAN JOSE, Calif – GLOBAL VR today announced that it is now using a newly designed force feedback steering wheel board from Immersion Corporation (Nasdaq:IMMR), a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology. The new RoHS-compliant board has been designed to meet the high level of reliability demanded by the coin-op market.

I’m not sure how much of a difference it will make until I try it but it sounds interesting and if it offers more of an experience that you can’t find at home, then all the better.
