Dunno about Interact, but Aura made vests like that. They also made Bass Shakers, which are a bit easier to work with as you simply screw them down and wire them up like a speaker. There was an online car stereo site that still had Bass Shakers last year, after seeing them mentioned in a thread here I picked up 4 sets for arcade projects.

I would have to agree with Tailgunner.  The bass shakers are very easy to use, just like a speaker hook up.  I would urge to get the better version the Aura Pro Bass shakers.  They can handle more power just in case you need it.  Link below for ebay auction $60 for pair.  Shipping little high.

Found the site, Parts Express still has Bass Shakers. The regular ones are $28 a pair, the pro versions are $37 each. I've used the pro versions in a few different cars, they're worth the extra $$$ there as they have to overcome the inherent vibrations of a mobile environment. In a cab I'd stick with the regular ones though, a pair of them mounted to a cab's hard seat will numb your rear end in short order.

Gamecab:
You know... The Bass Shakers look look like a better idea that the Interact vest that I gutted.  Basically I looking for the best effect that will make the seat the seat shake like heck when playing Nascar or F1.  I would mention mamed games but they are like watching a slideshow.
FYI - As of Today I have finally finished painting my Donkey Kong Jr Cabinet (Part of a restoration I have been doing) and am going to have the GameCab Driver Painted up by Thursday.  I should have some more Pics of that Cab by Thursday night.  I really need this cabinet painted because the pictures will be included in the GameCab Driver plans.   More important is the fact that I really have a driving itch.

bass shakers...cool.  so do these take music and sound and make vibrations according to the bass?  i've never heard of them before, but maybe i'll get some for the car.  it might be cool for a driver cab, but i've only got an upright, and that might seem wierd if the cab shakes while i'm trying to move the joystick.
