Bebop Sensors has attended CES for several years now with VRFocus last testing the Forte Data Glove back in 2018.

This will be very applicable not to just gaming but for training simulators and a wide array of VR productivity applications. The Manus is the first consumer data-glove specifically designed for virtual reality. It tracks hand movement using a combination of high-tech sensors all contained inside the glove.
