FlyInside FSX , the crowdfunded VR plugin for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (2006) , was built well before first-party VR motion controllers existed, developed back in the DK2-era of 2015 as an ad hoc way of jumping into an already highly-detailed flight sim.
SenseGlove is an exoskeleton for your hands that is able to provide you haptics sensations. Haptics quality. Experimenting with different force-feedback haptics inside Unity: rigid object, bendable object, breakable object. We are too early for realistic haptic feedback , so the mechanism works very well like in 10-20% of cases.
I really hope this can happen, because VR with haptic feedback is overly cool! Basically, the glove is able to simulate the forces that objects apply to your hands in the real world. Force-feedback gloves are able to apply a force to your fingers so that to simulate a force happening in real life. Force-feedback.
In theory, the gloves could paired with other technologies like a LeapMotion 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.
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 LeapMotion.
TG0 already provides the input mappin g so that you can emulate the input of the Vive Wand with your Etee controller : for instance, the thumb touchpad is equivalent to the Vive Touchpad, and the Index squeezing the controller simulates the Vive trigger. With it, you have both full fingers tracking and haptics feedback.
The LeapMotion Controller 2 is the ideal hardware for experiencing Ultraleap’s world-class hand tracking. Key improvements over the original LeapMotion Controller include higher resolution cameras, an increased field of view, and 25% lower power consumption, all in a 30% smaller package for optimum placement and convenience.
Ultrahaptics is the English company producing a haptic device that works without being worn by the user: it emits ultrasound waves that colliding with the skin of the fingers of the user provide him a sense of touch. This Area 51 VR simulator shows you what the US government is hiding to us! Ultrahaptics rebrands as Ultraleap.
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. San Francisco-based LeapMotion has raised a $50M Series C for their hand- and finger-tracking technology.
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. Focused, acute pulses simulate sharp points; broader, more distributed ones can simulate sensations like dipping into water. You’d smell the grass.
Hand tracking has always been one of those options that sound nice in principle, but would you actually pay for it, adding a LeapMotion 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.
A variant of its best-selling 6 DoF PCVR E4, this new headset is integrated with Ultraleap’s LeapMotion Controller 2 hand tracking camera, allowing operation and interaction within a VR environment naturally and without separate controllers. Additionally, it includes easily replaceable cables for effortless maintenance.
VSDK is a Unity-based solution for developers looking to create naturalistic user interactions whilst supporting a wide variety of headsets (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest) and peripherals (bHaptics TactSuit, LeapMotion, and ManusVR gloves.).
The demo puts you in control using a combination of LeapMotion interaction and a fully integrated Hands On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) control system. Why a space simulator? LeapMotion + HOTAS Gamepad. LeapMotion + HOTAS Gamepad. Audio and visual feedback.
Please try a new text input interface using LeapMotion!” LeapMotion enables new ways of using our devices but we still unconsciously use the mouse and keyboard as a model, missing potentially intuitive solutions,” the team told us. ” Requires: Windows. Want to watch your favorite movies in VR?
I got my LeapMotion Controller at the start of 2014, and quickly went about making demos. Aside from this, my major work with LeapMotion is my game Robot Chess , a relatively simple game which allows you to use your hands to pick up and move around chess pieces as you play against a robotic AI opponent.
LeapMotion, the optical hand-tracking firm, was acquired by Bristol, UK-based haptics company Ultrahaptics earlier this year. Before the acquisition of LeapMotion and the subsequent rebranding, Ultrahaptics was best known for its mid-air haptic technology which uses ultrasound to project tactile sensations onto users’ hands.
What was until some time ago a very cool startup with a lot of knowledge about haptics and hand tracking (and with a lot of friends of mine) is now just a ghost. The company has also laid off 30 employees. The 24 remaining people will join Roli as part of the sale. Ultraleap declined to comment , which usually means that the report is true.
AI reconstruction of how the launch of the Deckard may happen The controllers are an optimized version of Valve Index Controllers , smaller and more reliable, even if I’m told that the headset can also track the hands thanks to an integrated LeapMotion controller.
Dean: I’ve tried some haptics gloves. And then even Magic Leap, I’ve heard rumors that they’re going to be introducing an enterprise division, or an enterprise something. And then Ultrahaptics and LeapMotion coming together, creating that virtual hand tracking meets virtual manipulation of the air: ultrasonics.

Dean: I've tried some haptics gloves. And then even Magic Leap, I've heard rumors that they're going to be introducing an enterprise division, or an enterprise something. So a lot of people got in and said, "hey, we're gonna make games," and then, "maybe we should make training simulators or something like that." Alan: "HaptX."H-A-P-T-X,

He has demonstrated even more original (and less scary) ideas for AR interaction while directing UX design at LeapMotion. Is the Founder-Ceo of #HoloSuit a full body motion tracking suit with haptic feedback. A veteran in video games, serious games, and simulation industry. 25- Pankaj Raut. 28- Harsha kikkeri.
More info News worth a mention (Image by Ultraleap) Ultraleap launches LeapMotion Controller 2 Hand-tracking company Ultraleap has just announced the LeapMotion Controller 2 , the evolution of the iconic LeapMotion Controller, which is smaller and more precise than its predecessor.
Dynamically mapping rich features of input gestures to properties of physics-based simulation made the interface controllable in most cases. To test the feature, the team used an Oculus Rift CV1 for display and a LeapMotion was applied for hand tracking.
Not only does CadaVR let students use their hands and other senses to learn about anatomy, but it also has things that are not available in physical labs, such as a simulation of how the heart beats. (If Get the project on the LeapMotion Developer Gallery ! Haptic feedback. Interaction Design. A heart positioned 1.5
So, it is good for instance to show you the various parts of the human body, but it is not good to simulate a full surgery operation. Even worse, it wasn’t able to track my finger movements well (it was worse than LeapMotion … and LeapMotion doesn’t have worn sensors!). VR is dangerous….
You can now touch a virtual cat with full haptics. The “most WTF news of the day” prize has been won by the University of Taiwan, where researchers have worked on a haptic device with fur on it so that to simulate your contact with an animal. Thanks to this, you can so touch a virtual cat in a very realistic way.
