GLOVES :TO FEEL VIRTUAL REALITY

What if you start touching and feeling the virtual objects.

While virtual reality users may be able to see things soon with microsoft’s HoloLens, they will soon be able to feel sensations such as heat rainfall, heat, flitting of a butterfly, shapes (and even weight of an object) when interacting with virtual objects.

Yes thanks to the new pair of gloves from spain based tech 

company neurodigital technologies.

This Spain-based tech company has developed a prototype of the gloves, dubbed Gloveone,which enables users to feel and touch any virtual object that they can see on the screen or in their VR headsets," according to the company.

If a virtual apple is shown on the screen, with Gloveone, you will be able to feel its shape or weight, sense all of its physical features, and even smash it!" says the company on Kickstarter.

Gloveone is a glove made out of fabric that lines 10 haptic actuators along the user’s fingertips and palm in order to create the sensation of touching objects in VR and feeling their shape and weight. 

These vibrate individually and at varied intensities and frequencies, which result in the production of touch sensations that are accurate.

A lipo-battery is fitted to the wrist and motherboard rests on the back of the user’s palm. By putting on a head-mounted display (HMD) like the OCCULUS RIFT and using a hand-tracking sensor such as LEAP MOTION, players can reach out and take control that seems very realistic.

The technology translates touch sensations into vibrations and each pair has 10 sensors placed in the palm and fingertips. Four of those sensors, located in the palm, thumb, index and middle fingers, can detect each other, letting you fire a gun or grab an apple

The gloves will also come with a 9-axis inertial measure unity (IMU) sensor. While typically found in aircrafts where it is used to record velocity and gravitational forces, the sensor in the gloves will help to track your movements within the virtual reality setting.

The company describes the sensation of wearing these gloves as a "realistic perceptual illusion", meaning that you can't feel the weight of a virtual object the same as it is in real life, but you can compare weights within the virtual world.

people can buy the gloves fitted in three sizes. Each "anti-bacterial, sweat-proof" pair features a Bluetooth wireless connection and offers more than four hours of battery life.

Only thing, you will have to wait till 2016 before you enjoy the experience through Gloveone
