Virtual reality (VR) is all about immersion in whatever experience you happen to be in. One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. At £5k you’re not going to be adding them to your HTC Vive kit just yet.

Hand tracking has always been one of those options that sound nice in principle, but would you actually pay for it, adding a Leap Motion device or something a little more extravagant like a data glove? It has long been known that Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) has been working on hand tracking technology for a while now.

In Dexmo gloves, the thumb tracking alone takes 3DoF, and this is needed to make the grasping and all the other virtual hands’ interaction more realistic. This definitely opens a lot of doors for more natural interactions in immersive worlds. All the movements of the thumb are tracked thanks to a special joint. Final impression.
