Virtual reality (VR) technology has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. However, if there’s one key thing missing is the tactility of the real world. With BeBop Sensors Forte Data Glove, you’ll be able to “touch” and “feel” textures and surfaces, as well as move objects in VR space, as you would in real life. And now it’s integrated for Oculus Quest, Oculus Link, Oculus Rift S, Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality, HTC Vive Cosmos, HTC Vive Pro, HTC Focus Plus, and Varjo VR headset technology.
Announced at CES 2020, it’s the first VR haptic glove and exclusively designed for these platforms as well as other Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality Headsets, including HP, Lenovo, Acer, Dell, and Samsung, through the integration of HP Reverb,
It’s also the first haptic VR glove to fully support Oculus Quest Link, which allows Oculus Quest to leverage the graphics capabilities and processing power of a VR-supported computer for higher end VR interactions.
The award-winning glove is the first affordable all-day wireless VR/AR haptic glove that provides a portable complete VR headset and data glove solution that requires almost no set-up; perfect for on-the-go VR enterprise training, maintenance and gaming.
