BeBop Sensors has been demonstrating its latest Forte Data Glove iteration at technology show CES for the past several years and next week’s event is no different. What has changed is the addition of greater hardware support including Oculus Quest and glove features, with haptics now available.

The company formerly known as AxonVR , which has raised more than $5 million in venture capital, is rebranding to HaptX, and revealing a feature prototype of a VR glove which uses micro-pneumatics for detailed haptics and force feedback to the fingers. After trying the prototype for myself, I came away impressed with the tech.

Manus VR , the company which makes enterprise-grade data gloves, is almost ready to release its solution to this challenge, Manus Polygon. The company also plans to release an Unreal Engine 4 plugin later this year as well as expanding compatibility for more motion capture hardware.

That physicality is something you don’t get from data gloves, or vision based inputs without any device, and that feeling can then be fine-tuned with haptic feedback. Plus, you’re not passing around a sweaty data glove between your friends. And the less we fixate on hardware, the more present we can be in VR.

Because the HoloLens 2 is a headset device, there is no haptic feedback other than the physical haptic of your fingers making real contact with each other. It’s an incredibly intuitive piece of hardware that I could definitely see myself wearing for long periods of time if my job required it. Image Credit: Microsoft.

I really hope this can happen, because VR with haptic feedback is overly cool! Basically, the glove is able to simulate the forces that objects apply to your hands in the real world. Astonishing video of the HaptX gloves in action. Dexmo gloves track 11 degrees of freedom for each hand. Dexmo haptic feedback.
