They’re the company behind Dexmo, a robotic exoskeleton glove that provides force feedback to simulate the act of touching objects in virtual reality. In Feb 2016 our force feedback unit was successfully batch manufactured and then assembled into Dexmo. We built some Unity plugins that is somewhat similar to the Vive.
