    Virtual and augmented reality headsets are making significant progress in audio-visual immersion and consumer adoption. However, their haptic immersion remains low, due in part to the limitations of vibrotactile actuators which dominate the AR/VR market. In this work, we present a new approach to create high-resolution shape-changing fingerpad arrays with 20 haptic pixels per square cm. Unlike prior pneumatic approaches, our actuators are low-profile (5mm thick), low-power (approximately 10mW/pixel), and entirely self-contained, with no tubing or wires running to external infrastructure. We show how multiple actuator arrays can be built into a five-finger, 160-actuator haptic glove that is untethered, lightweight (207g, including all drive electronics and battery), and has the potential to reach consumer price points at volume production. We describe the results from a technical performance evaluation and a suite of eight user studies, quantifying the diverse capabilities of our system. This includes recognition of object properties such as complex contact geometry, texture, and compliance, as well as expressive spatiotemporal effects.

      One issue I can see happening with that is that people's hands are actually pretty strong. If someone's, for example, swinging an axe in VR, they'll grip it pretty hard and they'll rip apart your mechanism if it can't withstand a few dozen pounds of force per finger at the absolute minimum.

All of these things are super interesting and moving faster than I thought was possible. Haptic gloves still won't be something the masses use, but they're headed in the right direction. By the way, I want more content on your haptic gloves and I would also like to know if you are interested in the cheap haptic gloves from LucidVR (from Lucas VRTech). They could collaborate together once.

    Haptic gloves with hand tracking is likely the future, the most future proof i've seen so far in this concept is one that they use fluid like muscles to pull your fingers and in a similar fashion fluid control makes small bumps in the fingers and palm to rise, and i remember them saying that they could even warm the fluid so it can give a heat sensation on touch. The real problem in all this is always cost, it is the same reason most people don't have VR, everything is becoming increasingly more expensive

    Increasing the resolution, adding pressure sensing and replacing the surface with a flexible display, would be a step towards a touchscreen with buttons that could be felt.

      The entire point of this specific integration is that it's really cheap. Maybe in the future once its surpassed the prototype stage, and moved into the commercial stage, it'll become more expensive. Still, I can't imagine it being out of budget for anyone who can afford VR gear to begin with.

      ​@@dudeguy8553 I think things usually get cheaper once they can be mass-produced though. I suppose extra features later on could drive up the cost, but it would make the prototypes more expensive first.

    • @dudeguy8553
      @dudeguy8553 Před 29 dny

      @@lorimartabin7992 R&D costs, supply and demand, and a bunch of factors can affect price. There'll probably be a lot of different novel ways to replicate this tech, and some will be more expensive than others. I think we're seeing this as individual separate units, but it could also be part of a more fully featured rig for your hand. Maybe it'll have higher resolutions, more responsiveness, and cover more of your hand.
      In the end, I think there will be a consumer version that's fairly affordable, with its own budget alternatives too.
