Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. It will so have inside-out tracking.

In this series of articles, I want to talk about my experience there , giving you some highlights about the hardware I tried, the companies I met, etc… I want to let you feel as if you did this VR travel with me. I think that it’s a great piece of hardware: the 3D effect is solid and the colors are very good.

One of the first accessories for AR/VR I had the opportunity to work on is the Leap Motion hands tracking controller : I made some cool experiments and prototypes with it and the Oculus Rift DK2. Leap Motion has also been the first important company I have interviewed in this blog. If you want, you can find it here below!

To mimic the tactile feedback that you experience in real life, you’ll need sensors and haptics all over your body or at least in significant areas, like the face, hands, and feet. The first hardware generation attempting to solve the body feedback problem will likely use full bodysuits with haptic responses aligned to the VR experience.

Hand-tracking on the Quest without the need for any type of additional hardware shows a lot of promise for the future of the Quest and VR as a whole. It’s a strange feeling not having any feeling when touching or grabbing things, something dedicated Leap Motion and HoloLens users are already used too.

Most probably there won’t be hardware releases (Oculus has just launched the Rift S and the Quest ) but just teases of new devices of the future and a lot of new software releases and showcases (like the one about the game that is being developed by Respawn). The Oculus Connect 6 is coming! I would really love to have it!

Valve has now a hardware production plant and it is already manufacturing the Knuckles by itself, but it is not clear if they are able to produce a VR headset at scale. What is intriguing is the fact that some rumors talk about the use of “haptic audio”, so it is possible that this technology will be included inside this headset.

Several devices such as integrated hand-tracking headsets from Varjo or Lynx, Leap Motion Controllers, or even the company’s VR Developer Mount can used the device as an added peripheral. The company also collaborates with software and hardware partners to develop turnkey solutions for a broader audience.

But it seems like Lenovo’s interests aren’t just tied to hardware; they also hinted at an “AR platform” on their blog post. Inside, the show combined haptics (swivel chairs and synced Subpac vests) with a Gear VR to virtually transport you on a journey down storm drains to come face-to-face with the infamous evil clown Pennywise.

I really hope this can happen, because VR with haptic feedback is overly cool! Some of its competitors, like HaptX (formally named AxonVR) are really bulky and heavy, while other ones require a haptic system that extends all over the arm. Dexmo haptic feedback. Force-feedback. You may wonder what “force-feedback” means.

It is much better than ALVR and other similar solutions (of course, because Oculus can operate at a deeper level on its hardware and runtime).

Huawei is a very important hardware company and its glasses have a very sleek design, so I think it’s very important to keep an eye on them! You can now touch a virtual cat with full haptics.
