Gloves You Will Feel The Metaverse With: HaptGlove

The concept of metaverse has now begun to settle into our daily lives. Many companies have also started to develop various software and technologies for use in Metaverse. If you remember last month Sony, mycopi named tracking sensors and made it much easier to transfer our entire body to Metaverse.

Today, a group of researchers from the State University of Singapore is working on every object you see in the virtual world. announces new gloves that you can feel at your fingertips.

You can feel even the smallest roughness

HaptGlove Unlike ordinary VR controllers and gloves, this glove works with much more sensitive motors and a machine learning supported algorithm. The glove has one feedback module for each finger. Working with microfluidics these modules are much more sensitive and fragile than standard feedback modules, but they are almost half as small. In this way, when you wear the gloves, you do not feel excessive weight in your hand.

All you have to do after wearing the glove is to run the software on the computer and then log in to Metaverse. The system automatically detects and models objects near your hand in the virtual world, allowing you to touch them. Thanks to microfluidics You can feel even minor bumps and protrusions. These gloves are actually Ready Player One We can say that it looks like it was inspired by the movie.

The team that developed HaptGlove acknowledges that this project is not new and He states that they have been working to develop the project since 2019.. Stating that the first prototypes of the project were very unsuccessful and that even the spherical models had corners in the tests, the team states that they worked continuously to make these gloves the best possible over time.

Researchers who have purchased the patent rights to the product say the HaptGlove may be available soon, and that the price of a pair of gloves is lower. at $3,700 (69,535 TL excluding taxes) 15,000 dollars (281.902 TL excluding taxes).
