PowerClaw is a haptic glove that lets you feel heat, cold, and a number of sensations on the tips of your fingers. All of this however was done without any sort of tracking, a duty that PowerClaw has rested on the backs of optical hand tracking devices like Leap Motion.

Most probably there won’t be hardware releases (Oculus has just launched the Rift S and the Quest ) but just teases of new devices of the future and a lot of new software releases and showcases (like the one about the game that is being developed by Respawn). The Oculus Connect 6 is coming! I would really love to have it!

Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. It will so have inside-out tracking.

Valve has now a hardware production plant and it is already manufacturing the Knuckles by itself, but it is not clear if they are able to produce a VR headset at scale. What is intriguing is the fact that some rumors talk about the use of “haptic audio”, so it is possible that this technology will be included inside this headset.

Ultrahaptics went on to raise $23 million, begin to interest car companies , and later absorb the much-hyped Leap Motion, which, it turns out, was a match made in heaven, by uniting both hand tracking and mid-air haptics. So Ultraleap is already working with DS Automobiles and Hosiden on new mid-air haptics experiences.

But it seems like Lenovo’s interests aren’t just tied to hardware; they also hinted at an “AR platform” on their blog post. Inside, the show combined haptics (swivel chairs and synced Subpac vests) with a Gear VR to virtually transport you on a journey down storm drains to come face-to-face with the infamous evil clown Pennywise.

To mimic the tactile feedback that you experience in real life, you’ll need sensors and haptics all over your body or at least in significant areas, like the face, hands, and feet. The first hardware generation attempting to solve the body feedback problem will likely use full bodysuits with haptic responses aligned to the VR experience.
