Marck Zuckerburg Shows The Oculus VR New Virtual Reality Gloves
Gloven RamosThe Facebook owned Virtual Reality company, Oculus VR, built a new hardware to interact with the Oculus Rift. It is the Oculus Glove, a pair of white motion control gloves that will bring user hands to virtual reality.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, posted on his Facebook account the photos of his visit in the Oculus VR company's research lab in Redmond, Washington. There, he shows to the world a glimpse of the Oculus Rift's first Virtual Reality gloves.
In his photo, Mark Zuckerberg performs the Spiderman iconic gesture while wearing the Oculus Rift VR headset and gloves. According to him, they are working on new ways to bring your hands in virtual and augmented reality. Wearing these new VR gloves, you can draw, type on a virtual keyboard and even shoot webs like Spider Man.
The Oculus already has its Touch controllers, a great way for wielding guns or picking up digital objects, but this new prototype of Virtual Reality gloves is another generation for VR gaming. As reported by TechCrunch, Oculus VR aims to let users to finger paint, act like a super hero and even type in virtual reality.
In the photos where Mark Zuckerberg was seen wearing the Oculus Rift VR gloves, a set of OptiTrack sensor cameras are notably used to sense the glove's position and motion instead of the Oculus built sensor system. With this OptiTrack, Oculus could rapidly test the VR gloves with a lower cost.
The Oculus Rift's new Virtual Reality gloves research team is led by Michael Abrash. They are focusing on things like advanced optics, eye tracking, mixed reality and new ways to map the human body.
A lot of Virtual Reality hardware companies are also developing haptic VR gloves. Like the Dexta Robotic's Dexmo, Manus, Neurodigital's Glove One and Noitom's Hi5. As for now, no other details about the Oculus Rift VR gloves were shared to the public.
