Wow! That's awesome! I hope we'll be able to feel stuff the way it is at some point in the future, with all the different materials like wood or cloth.
@@DiscoVRTetiana nice I will surely watch it ! :).I think those vest are very cool. Also I saw the support in apps is pretty big for that. Finally I was afraid it uses electric to make you feel it, but I found out last time that there are one who use just mini vibrating motors like you use in your phone. :) that should not cost any problems with my heart.
Very interesting! You got to try technical VR stuff that I probably will never use... Thanks for the video! It reminded me of a chat I had last year with some of my former collegues at Lufthansa, where the emergency training was done partly with VR Headsets. In my time as a flight attendant, we had fire excercises where we actually had to go into a copy of a a part of an airplane and use special adapted fire extinguishers to put down the fire. I can imagine that it would be much safer and maybe even cheaper to use VR for that. Problem is that there are always some people who get motionsicknes inside a headset and for them those excercises would not be easy.
Excellent video! Not enough is done on haptics. I'm interested in them as a family member has disabilities yet looooves VR... as do I. It's heartbreaking when they can't progress any further than the initial stage in an otherwise easy game as the controllers are too awkward for them to operate. A haptic solution would be so much more intuitive for them. But wasn't there a kid in the U.S. building them and releasing his designs for free? I think they were costing in the region of $60 to build them yourself with his designs. Wonder how he is getting along or if any hobbiests make and sell them as a 'side hustle'? Would be interesting to see a video on these hobbiests if they exist! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching and for the idea! I definitely hope to see more done with VR haptics in the near future. It's insane how much more immersiveness it adds to the VR space.
I think you are Referring to Lucas of LucidVR? His gloves are awesome. Low cost solution for a haptic glove. I believe it only provides binary force feedback, aka it fully stops your finger when you touch something rather than having a range of hardnesses. But for the price it is a great increase in immersion!
@@waynelynch1 definitely. There are a few additional companies out there that sell solutions that have binary feedback Dexmo and one of Sense Gloves earlier gloves (though Sense Glove now has a variable force feedback glove too). I personally prefer variable force feedback. At Haptic Solutions we are trying to make the Gauntl33t as low cost as possible, and want to have an even lower cost kit version so you can build yourself, however will still be more expensive than building Lucas's glove.
BHaptics seems to be the most reasonable one to think about getting. I do not want to mortgage my house to buy these kind of devices. But thanks for the video.
Yeah, that will take some times until they are cheap and good enough for consumers. But I think the last one with heat/cold should be much easier possible and not that expensive.
haptic VR gloves look rather intriguing; thanks for sharing as many of us might never get to try such devices. At first I was going to comment that they look like they would come in very handy for the right application... Then I realized that such a comment almost sounded like a dad-joke/pun & rephrase that statement so not to be punny 🤔
hahaha :D Thanks for watching! Indeed it's very early tech in the sense that more advanced haptic devices will take a while before they hit the consumer market, but I believe it will be sooner rather than later, so we need to know what's already out there!
Wow, those HAPT X look incredible! I want the backpack compressor to seem ridiculous, but for the payoff… This tech is extraordinary! I think they should go with an electrically-stimulated smart gel instead of air, though. The compressor is impractical for wide adoption, but gel wouldn’t require much power, simply enough to send a signal to change its shape.
@@Theriople - Haha! I don’t know what stage of development smart gels have reached in the past decade or two, but they seem underutilized, and a use-case like this seems to scream for it.
Ah but, can they give you real blisters in order to make Farming Simulator games where you are chopping wood and pulling up weeds all day realistic?? :)
@@georgetazberik6834, Keep checking back, they we’re available for awhile last year but Santa managed to bring me and my daughter each a set for Christmas.
Sadly, none of this tech will ever be mainstream but just instead for enthusiasts like us. That said psvr2 is about to bring vr haptics to the mainstream with its sense controllers and, of course, the head haptics of the hmd itself but great video! You're really stepping it up and it shows!
