I am happy to report that DCS and the folks that make VRFree gloves are talking about having them work in DCS. If flying in VR with the capability to flip switches and turn dials will your HANDS appeals to you, let them know you are interested by subscribing to their newsletter. Before they start their Indiegogo program they said they need more folks expressing an interest by subscribing to their newsletter. http://www.sensoryx.com/subscribe/

That would be the loosest thing ever.

Subscribed, sure why not... Let's see what they can do.

Very interesting product. http://www.sensoryx.com/product/vrfree_glove_system/

I subscribed twice. Once for each of my email addresses. Hope it helped a little.

Best of luck with this project.

Talking about and making it work are two different things. Good luck to VRFree and ED.

I’m in ill even invest thru kickstarter or indigo or whatever its called

I love the idea of having gloves in VR, but attaching something to the front of your headset seems like a bad solution to me. Increasing the weight of a headset particularly at the front will put more pressure on your face. Hopefully they'll support Windows Mixed Reality built in camera's in the future.

 

Do they explain anywhere how touching the switches actually works? You'd put your hand in the proximity of the switch, but how to tell it to flip up or down? I suppose you would make a pinch gesture near a switch and then move your hand up and down? If so that would be amazing, particularly if it has some haptic feedback.

No haptics with these gloves. Requires much more involved tech and would most likely have a higher price.

Subbed, but I have to ask: What’s the difference between this and Captoglove? Despite requiring a sensor attached to the visor, are these supposed to be a better solution?

[Greekbull]

Yep I subscribed as well!

Probably best to direct this question to the folks at their website.

I never notice my leapmotion on the hmd

Brilliant, subscribed.

Subbed. Bugger using the mouse in high fidelity cockpits!

[Icebeat]

Any news about the gloves?

[BlacleyCole]

I’m subscribed do we. Know what the cost for early supporters will be?

How about no gloves and built in hand tracking on gen 2 VR.

That's what I am patiently waiting on, Rift CV2.

What is the difference with leapmotion ?

[wormeaten]

What is the difference with leapmotion ?

 

 

There is no difference and all this need implementation by ED inside DCS.

My point is we already have hardware solutions for hands and with reasonable price, Leapmotion is around 50$, but without proper support from DCS not working well.

 

Maybe will work after VIVE controllers implementation because Leapmotion has support as Steam VR controller.

Maybe someone who already owns Leapmotion should test it already.

[BlacleyCole]

Test it how i have the leap motion but there’s no support in dcs

There needs to be some open standards in place. ED would be waiting for this space to settle down, just like with Vulkan api that ED will use now moving forward. Khronos Group is also working towards Open VR standards too.

 

What this means it should be easier for ED and other developers to implement the hardware, why do all this coding if hand tracking will be standard for the next gen VR? Or the guys with gloves etc, could possibly partly write code to this "VR standard" to make it less work for any apps to implement the hardware quickly.

"The cross-platform VR standard eliminates industry fragmentation by enabling applications to be written once to run on any VR system, and to access VR devices integrated into those VR systems to be used by applications."
