VR Gloves Made in Korea Give More Real Feedback
Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that is currently developing rapidly. To support a more real experience, now here VR gloves. By using these gloves, users will feel objects digitally or commonly called touch.
The gloves were made by Korea Institute of Science and in collaboration with local robotics experts, Youngsu Cha. This VR glove has sensors in the thumb, index, and middle fingers that can provide sensations such as pushing, stroking and more.
This isn’t the first time VR gloves have been made. However, Dr. Cha as the maker claims that their device is more realistic than others. Instead of giving a vibrating effect, feedback what this device gives to the user is pressure.
“Many have gloves for virtual reality. anyhow, feedback which they give based on the vibration (vibration). Ours, by pressing. For example, if the user picks up a virtual object, a conventional product will provide vibration feedback, our proposed device pushes against the skin of the fingertip.” said Dr. Cha.
These devices can be used in a variety of applications ranging from video games, remote surgery to pornography made more real.
