At E3 2016 I got to see the latest prototype version of Gloveone, a haptic motion input glove designed for virtual reality. But that first version of the glove required a third-party tracking system like Leap Motion in order to translate the movement of the user’s hands into virtual reality.

Ultrahaptics went on to raise $23 million, begin to interest car companies , and later absorb the much-hyped Leap Motion, which, it turns out, was a match made in heaven, by uniting both hand tracking and mid-air haptics. So Ultraleap is already working with DS Automobiles and Hosiden on new mid-air haptics experiences.

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.
