HaptX has announced the Gloves G1 haptic gloves. The new product is designed for the formation of tactile effects in virtual reality.

Here's What We Know

The cost of HaptX Gloves G1 is hard to call low, but it should be noted that the gloves are not aimed at ordinary users, but at the corporate sector. The kit comes with an Airpack unit. It looks like a backpack and is worn the same way. It can be installed next to the user if desired, but only if the activity in the virtual world does not involve much movement.

The Airpack is used to provide a tactile connection, by forcing compressed air. The user can feel the virtual objects with which he interacts, due to the hundreds of micro actuators in the glove. They act on the skin.

The HaptX Gloves G1 is priced at $5495. However, the buyer will have to pay an additional $495 per month subscription fee. It provides maintenance for the gloves and access to the HaptX SDK. Software development tools allow you to create plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity.
