Other companies like Leap Motion have developed similar technologies, employing computer vision processing to understand the position and movement of a user’s hands without any special gloves or attachments. HTC also indicates that the capability can track individual finger movements too. Image courtesy HTC.

Virtual reality (VR) is all about immersion in whatever experience you happen to be in. One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. Then it came to the haptics. Well, sort of.

We are too early for realistic haptic feedback , so the mechanism works very well like in 10-20% of cases.

In theory, the gloves could paired with other technologies like a Leap Motion sensor to simulate a wide range of activities. The Kor-FX and Hardlight Suit, for example, are VR-ready vests that allow you to “feel” impacts and pressure on your chest through haptic feedback.

If the report were true, this would mean that Apple doesn’t believe in AR anymore and this would be terrible news for all the immersive realities ecosystem. In all of this, someone has created the design for a Leap Motion mount for the Index that exploits the frunk. It is still gen 1 of haptics, so it is normal.

These considerations define a lot of the design in Cat Explorer , starting from the visual aesthetic – from interactive controls that look lightweight enough that it’s easier to accept the absence of haptic response – to animations and behavior, so that most things try to be context-aware when it adds to the user experience.

Side note that AR will be much bigger than VR, in both the diversity of use cases and market size (analysts predict $30B for VR versus $90B for AR by 2020), but I still believe that most homes will have a dedicated VR space for total immersion. Haptic feedback, movement speed in VR, and other techniques could add to the weight effect.

Probably Valve knows that a big FOV is one of the features that VR users ask the most because it creates a more immersive VR and so they are sacrificing PPD. 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.

Hand tracking has always been one of those options that sound nice in principle, but would you actually pay for it, adding a Leap Motion device or something a little more extravagant like a data glove? However, if hand tracking is added as a free addition then suddenly this argument changes significantly.
