You can also pick up a HIGVR DataGlove for a more immersive experience, but more on that later.

The HIG-M4 is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
BeBop Sensors has been demonstrating its latest Forte DataGlove iteration at technology show CES for the past several years and next week’s event is no different. What has changed is the addition of greater hardware support including Oculus Quest and glove features, with haptics now available.
For now, the HTC Vive brings you the most immersive right out of the box VR experience out of any on the market HMD due to its excellent motion controls. Manus VR recently released this video showing full arm tracking being developed for HTC Vive. The Manus is the first consumer data-glove specifically designed for virtual reality.
We know that now with the Oculus Touch and the HTC Vive, but even when VR was simply a screen strapped to your head many felt that hands were the future. That physicality is something you don’t get from datagloves, or vision based inputs without any device, and that feeling can then be fine-tuned with haptic feedback.
For example, most HTC VR technology supports 3D hand tracking. A question regarding other third-party VR technology, including datagloves, was brought up in a Q&A segment when users asked about hand tracking gloves. “ See Also: MR Company Nreal Talks Hand Tracking and New Partnerships.
Bebop Sensors has attended CES for several years now with VRFocus last testing the Forte DataGlove back in 2018. Back then the glove was more about demonstrating its bend sensor technology rather making a commercial product. In fact, at the time the company said it had no plans of going into full production.
Rubin walked me through the demo experience, built using an SDK of HaptX’s design, which he says is largely created by leveraging Unreal Engine’s physics system to tell the glove when and where to apply haptic effects and when and how to engage the force feedback. Rubin encouraged me to start poking and prodding at the scene.
Manus VR , the company which makes enterprise-grade datagloves, is almost ready to release its solution to this challenge, Manus Polygon. Compatible with HTC Vive and other SteamVR headsets, Manus Polygon will be compatible with Unity when it officially launches in June 2020.
If I remember well, some company in China was already experimenting on cloud rendering for the HTC Vive, so users could spare buying a VR-ready PC. HTC Vive Focus and Lenovo Mirage Solo are two standalone headsets produced by Chinese companies. The last paragraph of this point talks about VR videos. Promotion measures.
One of the biggest names in the VR dataglove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. Prior to the demo, the prospect of testing these gloves was an exciting one. At £5k you’re not going to be adding them to your HTC Vive kit just yet.
They created many VR devices including, the DataGlove, the EyePhone, and the Audio Sphere. When they licensed the dataglove to Mattel to create the Power Glove, this is one of the first instances of an affordable VR device that was readily available to the general public, costing just $75 USD. .
On display at CES 2020 recently, the gloves showcased some of the best hand haptics VRFocus has tested yet at the same time one of the fiddliest imaginable. HaptX partnered the gloves with an HTC Vive Pro and a very basic VR demo involving a farmyard scene. Quite frankly yes, yes it does.
