bHaptics' TactGlove is coming to CES 2022 and it is said to be the first consumer-ready haptic glove. This design was created to give people the ability to touch items in virtual reality and it does so with a linear resonant actuator for each finger. This, combined with hand-tracking tech, delivers the sensation of touch, so that people in virtual settings can interact with objects in new ways.
The wireless TactGloves boast the ability to provide up to four hours of playtime before needing to be recharged. According to bHaptics, the VR gloves are lightweight and stretchable with a washable liner.
The innovative TactGlove will be demonstrated at CES 2022 in collaboration with Hand Physics Lab and Unplugged VR.
