Haptic Gloves for VR

[capthaltli]

Obviously a little ways off, but this has me encouraged that one day in VR we may fly with gloves that give tactile/force feedback response. Could be really cool for a cockpit and flippin switches.

Yes looks really cool. But as with Any other New Technology a bit ways to Go before being truly usable for “our” purposes. For me it would have to be wireless for one.

That Smarter Every Day guy is really good, he's done some cool stuff about helicopter flight, among many others.

Wow that is cool! Thanks for sharing!

Being able to feel the switches and knobs, and feeling the click of a button on the UFC etc would just be amazing for DCS.

6 years time.. haptic glove to control DCS vitrual cockpit is my prediction

[Brewnix]

If it were to become a option later in life who would make it compatible with DCS would that be ED thing or would the Haptx company making a mod or port to work in DCS? And I am just dreaming here but could you imagine with that glove opening the Spitfire canopy sticking your hand out and feel the prop wash. Or you could actually grab the side of the aircraft to lean and look out of the cockpit. Just dreaming.

without question, an awesome feature (future).

Interesting video, but the guy said, in the middle, "I'm totally against VR, and don't think it will ever catch on, but this changed my mind".....how can ANYBODY say that, in today's world :)

because outside of games, it's a bit gimmicky. Because it lacks haptic feedback, limited FOV etc. I love it to death for DCS, but the HMDs are still a bit clunky etc.etc.

Yeah....but....anyone with even the smallest amount of future vision can see what this is GONNA be, say 10 years down the road.

 

Sure, it's not there yet, but to say he didn't think it "would ever catch on" reminds me of the interview of the US Postmaster General I heard in the late 80's - when asked if he thought email would impact the number of letters people would send, replied "Emails are a fad. They'll never catch on. People will always send letters".

Oh I got you. It's the future w/o out doubt. Even with all the limitations, I still won't fly w/o VR! I'm actually going to go check out XPlane because they have native VR support now, I'm told.

Personally don't need haptic feedback, just need gloves. (wireless)
