Shack Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 So I thought I would break out my Oculus touch controllers to give me "Virtual Hands" in the cockpit, and although the hands are there and look good, I find it cumbersome to hold onto the controllers while also manipulating the HOTAS. Id like to see a pair of actual VR gloves that can be worn to work with Oculus that would provide the same functionality.

The Touch controllers are amazing, but they pretty much handicap you in every game you use them in. I'm with you on this. I'd like to see gloves as well, with thin material and nothing covering your fingertips so you can still easily manipulate HOTAS controls without sacrificing your sense of touch. There are several threads on here where some dedicated DCS VR users are working on developing something that does exactly that.

At one time Oculus was teasing with the glove technology they were working on. Not sure if this is still on the table or what. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/oculus-vr-gloves-patents/ Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|

Shack Posted November 22, 2018 Author Posted November 22, 2018 That would be superb. There's definitely a market for such a product.
