VR Haptic Gloves Preview

One open source hardware project I am working on is haptic gloves for SteamVR. They will allow for finger tracking which is more reliable than index controllers, and pull back on fingers when meshes are touched in VR, to make it feel like objects are actually being held. It also could make possible tasks which couldn't be done with the index controllers in the palm, such as playing a real piano or controlling DJ equipment, while standing in front of a virtual version of the equipment in game.

Setting Up

I am currently setting up Immersive Mechatronics as a limited liability company. Paperwork will be filed in December and the Effective date will be January 1st, 2025.

For anyone involved in the set up who is curious about what I plan on doing, I will be make videos about open source hardware, mainly in the fields of VR trackers and animatronics.
