Researchers based out of Taiwan’s National Taiwan University and National Chengchi University are working on a one-of-a-kind controller that uses VR technology and faux fur to simulate the sensation of snuggling a digital feline, resulting in what could easily be considered the strangest haptic device currently in development.

In a study lead by Eisuke Fujinawa at the University of Tokyo, a team of students created a procedure for designing compact VR controllers that feel physically larger. Simulating the feel of real objects is a fundamental haptics challenge in VR. Simulating the feel of real objects is a fundamental haptics challenge in VR.

Cas & Chary Present. The SenseGlove Nova can simulate the feeling of shapes, textures, stiffness, impact, and resistance. The voice coil actuator allows the Nova to render the feeling of realistic button clicks and impact simulations. We recently visited the company to see how it works and feels. Motion Tracking.

Escape Simulator demonstrates how VR can further enhance flatscreen games. Escape Simulator isn't quite the same; it was originally a flatscreen game and Pine Studio's new VR Mode highlights this difference well. Escape Simulator lets you play solo or with up to 8 players in online co-op, both with VR and flatscreen players.

But the gift is not mine, but from the XR ergonomics expert Rob Cole, that has written an INCREDIBLE guest post about his experiments in trying to build from scratch the prototype of a SteamVR controller with a modular design and optimal ergonomics.

Cas & Chary Present. Use the included lanyards in the box and make sure to wear them every time you play to prevent throwing your controllers away when you are fully immersed in a game. And you’d be far from the first… even I’ve thrown a controller before! Controller Grip. Optimal Tracking. Ease yourself into it.

What haptic gloves provide is an evolution from a traditional XR controller input with a joystick. The technology elevates the overall user experience and adds value via realistic simulated feelings of pressure, weight, texture, and heat. There are other forms of haptic feedback devices outside of haptic gloves.
