At E3 2016 I got to see the latest prototype version of Gloveone, a haptic motion input glove designed for virtual reality. The latency of the input was also quite impressive. The haptics on the Gloveone prototype were functional but didn’t quite sell me on the sensation.

You can be a lot more expressive within social VR, and in mixed reality experiences where passive haptic feedback is available, having your hands tracked can actually increase the level of embodied presence. And I also experienced a lot more than 20ms of latency in my finger movements, which was a presence breaker.
