Today, as more companies enter the VR headset game and input devices continue to see rapid technological advancement, there are now more ways than ever to get your hands into VR. You can now interact with virtual objects and environments like never before, taking immersion to an entirely new level. Oculus Touch hand controllers.

Oculus Link for example or Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond are two worthy mentions, yet it must be the experimental hand tracking feature for Oculus Quest that takes home the crown, especially after testing the technology first-hand. Even more so when it comes to the popular standalone Oculus Quest.

Go Touch VR’s approach to VR haptics achieves surprising effectiveness out of small, simple haptic devices that provide stimulation to the end of your fingers. And while rumble is widely applicable for that abstract approach, it seems best suited for shooting games if you want to make use of the more immersive direct approach.

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. In reality that has taken longer than expected yet hand-tracking has now caught up with VR headsets.

Our brain is very plastic and the BCI could trigger the right parts of the brain so that you feel haptic sensations on 6 fingers if your avatar has 6 fingers. HaptX launches DK2 version of its haptic gloves. UltraLeap launches Gemini hands-tracking runtime. All of this is cool, but I think it’s also a smoke of hype.

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. As you can see, they are pretty bulky, much bigger than the ones by Dexta Robotics (also because of the spacial haptic system that they have).

VR, AR and hand tracking are often considered to be futuristic technologies, but they also have the potential to be the easiest to use.

I attended the Experiential Technology Conference (XTech) in San Francisco this week to hear talks about creating virtual experiences that truly immerse you in another world. We have 3D sound as well, but we need more than that to achieve real immersion, said Tal Blevins, head of media at UploadVR, in a panel at XTech.

I got my Leap Motion Controller at the start of 2014, and quickly went about making demos. My first major project was Battleship VR , which was intended to investigate UI interaction with finger tracking. My current goal is to create an immersive fishing simulator, for when uni gets a bit too stressful!

The front features a glossy plastic lid , that can be removed to uncover the so-called “frunk”, a hole with a USB-3 port , that can be used to attach accessories like Leap Motion to the Index. This improves a lot the comfort and the sense of immersion , since moving the eyes to see is pretty natural. Field of View.

Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, Leap Motion and many others joined the ecosystem. We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits. The same is also true for input and output peripherals such as eye trackers and haptic devices. It turns out that others share this vision.
