At the point when users put on the HaptGlove, they can detect when their virtual avatar’s hand touches something, as well as let how hard and know shape the object because of the HaptGlove restricting the user’s finger positions.
NUS claims that the HaptGlove will also be useful in different areas, like education and medication, by allowing specialists to plan for medical procedures in a “hyper-realistic environment” or giving understudies an involved learning experience.
The concept of haptic gloves isn’t new, with Meta working on their variant. However, NUS claim that its gloves can provide users with a substantially more realistic feeling of touch compared to others that exist today.
