Ultra-light gloves let users “touch” virtual objects

- Scientists from EPFL and ETH Zurich have developed an ultra-light glove - weighing less than 8 grams per finger- that enables users to feel and manipulate virtual objects. Their system provides extremely realistic haptic feedback and could run on a battery, allowing for unparalleled freedom of movement.

I wonder how much more left for them to develop their glove until it can make its way to a final product...I hope we'll see their gloves for VR sold in the not too distant future, like in 1-2 years max, that would be so crazy to have these along with like CV2 of Oculus.
I still remember the days of the zerkin glove where there wasn't even an over the shelf VR headset out there... Ah those were some dark times indeed!
11 months later :(
Things always take much longer than we expect. Good consumer level VR gloves will not be available for at least another 10 years. Then another 10 years for a full body force feedback suit/motion simulator.
@@jimj2683 Yeah, probably it's gonna take a while, it's been 4 years since I posted this comment and no VR gloves are soon to be ready and released afaik.
Awesome work! You gotta... _hand_ it to them!
Die.
That's such a smart and simple solution to haptic feedback. And the some peltier elements to simulate heat and cold.
My thoughts exactly, the simpest solution is the most beautiful and engineous in my opinion :)
This might be good for "holding" objects, but what about tiny sensations such as a bug crawling on your hand? I remember the larger haptic gloves were good at that
those large haptic gloves fucking cost 10 kidneys thats why
And now after 4 years still nothing. Very invigorating.
AWESOME...How's the Suit coming along??
Brilliant. When I read about the "electric current that made you stop your fingers" I thought the gloves were meant to immobilize your muscles by electrocuting you, haha.
Which also might actually be a good idea. Who knows.
Wow ... this is the vest haptic glove so far ... the locking sistem is amaz8mg
They should take inspiration from the Holotron motion rig.
I think these gloves are made perfectly for VR-Gaming with no hyperrealistic intentions. Its more natural than the existing controlling devices and I think alot of players would enjoy using their Hands freely ingame. I also like that efficiency and effectiveness were kept in mind during develeopement og these.
Did you guys also put a flexible resistor on the fingers to detect finger bends?
This is honestly soooo exciting.
INDEED :D
Hi, is Dextres available? I am designing a VR system built around the RPI 4.
Is Herbet Shea Irish and has picked up a bit of Swiss accented English or is he Swiss who has studied in Ireland and picked up a bit of Irish accented English?
is it just me or does the video sound fast
I know I have no stake in this but I think you should fully develop the gloves and release them as a product before making the full suit
How is this not being sold yet?????
Agreed! The system as it is right now looks really effective. If they can expand this idea to a full suit, accurate full Body Tracking might be coming quickly!
Are you serious? Or just in the sense that you really want it. Because ofcourse it can't be sold yet. There is nothing to sell yet
We were serious, in the sense that the proof of concept was very convincing.
I think you should talk to the youtube channels Corridor, Node and Smarter every day :)
This system looks so simple, sleek and effective that more people in the loop should know about it!
Would it allow the user to feel when simply touching on the virtual flat surface say, pressing a button for example?
When you press a button, the hand doesn't move, you just feel a sensation on the tip of your finger. If you wanted to feel a flat surface, you would need a whole body suit, because the flat suface stops the movement of your arm not your fingers. Try pressing a table with your fingers, you will feel contraction in your forarm and a little bit in your shoulder, not in your hand.
probably not you will need something like a actuator haptic on the fingers or something similar.
Who wants to bet they made a “special” glove in japan?
Actually the normal steel strips won't work ,the 2000 voltage will only result in a spark in-spite of the dielectric .A super magnet at the ends could prove useful though
oh boy this is cool i need this
VRChat headpats are going to get so fun!
Hello RUclips!
Will it be for psvr also?
These can be good for virtual keyboards, controllers, and virtual stenotypes for android. Stenotypes can input text at 2.5x the speed of normal keyboards, but they are difficult to learn. With plover and a "n-rollover" keyboard you can learn plover, but using this you could create a virtual stenotype and use it to practice your stenotyping while outside.
I can imagine how useful this would be for the weebs watching this
ohh this can go very good and appropriate, or very bad and inappropriate
If this works as good as it sounds I predict complete global saturation.
