VR gloves are a wearable XR accessory designed to enhance immersion with spatial computing capabilities and sensory feedback. Vibrotactile feedback enables other gloves to simulate the feeling of things like touching a surface or clicking a button using actuators in the fingers of the glove. What are VR Gloves and How Do They Work?

An Introduction Virtual reality creates an end-to-end mechanism that replaces our natural “real-world” environment with an immersive simulation. It creates a simulated environment you can effectively interact with. Driving simulators are perhaps the best example of this. How Does Virtual Reality Work?
