Today I’m writing a post about one of the best haptics devices I have tried at AWE 2021: Senseglove Nova, a pair of gloves for virtual reality. Or if in VR you are squeezing a rubber ball, force feedback makes sure that you have more difficulty in closing your fingers, because it simulates the resistance of the ball material.

The gloves also provided force-feedback, so they also applied some force to your fingers to simulate the force applied by the virtual objects to your hands. This is necessary to provide the special haptic sensation I described you before, but it limits a lot the usability and the portability of the device.
