Haptics at your fingertips with the HaptX DK2 VR Haptic Gloves introduced at AWE 2022 HaptX has a new version of its virtual reality entry device – the HaptX Gloves DK2. Nicolas Ribeyre and Laurent Giraldon introduce us to this innovation.
Unlike other virtual reality solutions that are limited to vibration and force feedback, HaptX gloves physically move the user’s skin like a real object would. They offer quite a bit of realism, with over 130 points of tactile feedback per hand. The DK2 is specially designed for professionals in training and simulation, industrial design and robotics. HaptX realizes an interface accessory in VR with real touch haptics thanks to its patented microfluidic technology that reproduces the feeling of touching real objects. Each HaptX DK2 glove features over 130 discrete points of tactile feedback that physically move the user’s skin up to 2mm. HaptX gloves also feature the industry’s strongest force feedback and most accurate motion tracking. This technology also makes it possible to manipulate real objects remotely using robots. We can therefore act in a place thanks to the gloves and reproduce the movements elsewhere in the world. An innovation to discover on video
