HaptX VR Gloves Uses Telerobotics To Transmit Touch Across The Globe
Labeled as the Avatar X initiative, the project is a result of a collaboration between HaptX–whose haptic gloves lets you grab and hold objects in VR–SynTouch, whose BioTacs SP sensors can detect haptic data of interaction to re-create a human sense of touch; and Shadow Robot Company, creators of Dexterous Hand – a robotic hand with 20 actuated degrees of freedom, force sensors, and ultra-sensitive touch sensors on the fingertips.
