As soon as we get finger detection, we want haptics. He showed how a deaf person could “hear” by feeling the haptic feedback on the torso.
In this context, the IoE Research Center for Virtual Reality and Haptics at IIT Madras has released a groundbreaking whitepaper on AR/VR/MR and eXtended Reality (XR) in India. Companies like Magic Leap and Microsoft HoloLens pushed the boundaries of MR technology, enabling users to interact with digital objects in real-world settings.
More info Discover a Reconfigurable Mobile Head-MountedDisplay This is the weirdest research project I’ve seen this week (thanks Ivan Aguilar for the tip). I’m just wondering how Microsoft is still supporting the project and if there will be a MRTK 4. This is the dystopia we should avoid.
