Mark Zuckerberg reveals VR glove prototypes

    We’re working on new ways to bring your hands in virtual and augmented reality.

 

Wearing these gloves, you can draw, type on a virtual keyboard, and even shoot webs like Spider Man. That’s what I’m doing here.

 

  

For many years technology enthusiasts have dreamed about VR and the many possibilities that it provides, with so-called “haptic gloves” being the centrepieces of many fictional VR worlds like seen in Ready Player One and other novels. 

Outside of gaming, these gloves have a wide range of applications, from providing users with the ability to view and interact with a virtual office to giving medical students and surgeons the ability to use VR for highly interactive training simulations. 

While this product is far from a consumer release, it is vert interesting to see inside Oculus what they are creating for future VR users. 

 

You can join the discussion on Oculus’ VR gloves on the OC3D Forums.
