Online gaming has been quite popular and always comes up with intriguing updates. In this era of modern technology, players are more prone to gaming in a virtual environment. Many game series has been shifted to the virtual platform to enhance the user experience in all possible ways.
Recently, Mojang updates “Minecraft” in the Virtual Reality platform and Microsoft is offering a beta version of VR-enabled Flight Simulator. While most of the gaming has been shifted to the VR platform it is equivalently important to provide appropriate gadgets. Many companies are working meticulously on developing such gadgets. HP unveiled the most intelligent VR headset for developers and enterprises. In similar lines, Facebook has designed 3D printed VR gloves to improve the Virtual Reality gaming experience.
Facebook’s Reality Labs was developed to look after VR related developments and enhancements. It is specially designed for the VR development of its Oculus Rift gaming platform. Cornell University and Facebook’s Reality Labs are in collaboration with the development of 3D printed VR gloves. The gloves use 3D printing technology for precise and responsive construction.
Haptic Gloves are quite eminent in the gaming Industry. With Haptic Technology, direct communication is created between Haptic glove users and computer or console they are attached to. Furthermore, they are also effectively used for critical simulations with Medicine. The Surgeons use these gloves to practice very complicated operations thus ensuring error-free in real-time. Similarly, Responsive gloves are used to enhance VR experience in gaming. The specialty of this 3D printed VR gloves is that it uses soft pneumatic actuators. These actuators will measure localized force and in turn, provides “Haptic Feedback”. The feedback is then used to improvise the user experience.
The 3D VR gloves are designed in such a way to recapture passive energy, good shock absorbent, and better handling load management. It can be compared with Teslasuit glove. Similar to the full-body haptic feedback suit Teslasuit produces, it is predominately aimed to be used in the field of medical research, rehabilitation sector and, training. It can be able to simulate virtual textures and provide biometric data. It collaborates various technologies in order to generate simultaneously the impressions of the touching and holding objects.
