“With haptics, you truly feel a broader range of feedback, so crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field.

Further details have yet to be shared.

From the NBA to the big screen. According to Philly Voice, Ben Simmons is working on a documentary about racism in Australia as the executive producer of The Australian Dream. The film, which will be screened during the Philadelphia Film Festival and premiered in August at the Melbourne International Film Festival, follows Australian Football League star Adam Goodes and his journey fighting racism in the league and “growing up as an Australian born to an Aboriginal mother and a white father.”
Simmons explained to The Age:
“My dad is from America and I’m a mixed kid growing up in Australia, so I felt like I owe it to other kids who have been in my situation, who are mixed kids, who are not typical Australian kids that they see that side and have that support from other players, people like me. Role models. I feel like it’s the right area for me to get in there.”
