Haptic Glove

June 19, 2024

 

 

Imagine being able to feel the texture of virtual objects as if they were right in front of you. HaptX Gloves G1, designed primarily for enterprise, provide users with a highly realistic sense of touch in virtual environments. Industries like healthcare, aerospace, first responders, and manufacturing can use these gloves for training purposes, allowing trainees to practice in a safe, controlled virtual environment.

The HaptX Gloves G1 utilize advanced haptic feedback mechanisms to simulate the sense of touch. Tiny air pockets within the gloves inflate and deflate, creating precise pressure points on the skin in 135 places in the glove. This mimics the sensation of touching different textures and surfaces. The gloves apply varying levels of resistance, allowing users to feel the weight and solidity of virtual objects. Integrated sensors track the movement of the user's hands with high accuracy. This ensures that the virtual hand movements correspond exactly to real-world gestures, enhancing the immersive experience.
