Oculus showcases “Advanced Hand Tracking” gloves
 Â
We’re working on new ways to bring your hands in virtual and augmented reality.ÂWearing these gloves, you can draw, type on a virtual keyboard, and even shoot webs like Spider Man. That’s what I’m doing here.

If this new technology works as shown it could revolutionise the VR industry, opening up the ability for VR to be used to create more accurate simulations than ever before by allowing users to use their hands to directly interact with virtual worlds.Â
Oculus may be gearing up to officially showcase this technology at SIGGRAPH 2017, given the timing of this video’s leak.

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.Â
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.Â
