Reality Labs is Meta’s laboratory for research work that is now bringing touch to the virtual world! Let’s have a closer look.
One of Meta’s Reality Labs Research teams is focused on inventing the future of interaction in augmented and virtual reality. Their goal is to create the technology which will solve one of the central challenges of the metaverse: “How do we touch the virtual world?”
“To enable this experience and bring touch to the metaverse, the team is developing haptic gloves: comfortable and customizable gloves that can reproduce a range of sensations in virtual worlds, including texture, pressure and vibration. While we’re still in the early stages of this research, the goal is to one day pair the gloves with your VR headset for an immersive experience like playing in a concert or poker game in the metaverse, and eventually they’d work with your AR glasses.” Meta says in their newsroom.
These gloves are a challenge to build and require invention in totally new domains of scientific research. For the past seven years the team has been creating new breakthroughs to make haptic gloves a reality. Here’s what Meta says about the breakthroughs:
With these developments Meta has pushed the boundaries in overcoming something challenging and making it real. It is now excited about the progress that has been made and the potential it shows for a virtual world which all of us can touch.
