The HaptX Gloves G1 kit includes a pair of gloves and an Airpack unit that can be worn on the back like a backpack or placed on a fixed surface next to the user if the journey to the virtual world does not involve any significant physical activity. Airpack pumps compressed air into the system, which is responsible for tactile feedback. Available in four sizes, the gloves are equipped with hundreds of micro-actuators that act on the user’s skin, creating a tactile sensation of the virtual objects they touch.
The success of the project will depend on how the market perceives it, but for now, a pair of virtual reality gloves is being offered to pay $ 5,495 one-time and $ 459 for a mandatory monthly subscription that includes device maintenance and software development tools. . The HaptX SDK allows, in particular, to create plug-ins for Unreal Engine and Unity engines and use the C ++ API to work with the built-in functions.
