Meta's prototype inflatable-bladder gloves are a step towards what could eventually become a pair of consumer gloves. A new look at the tech, though, shows that it'll be some time before we see them bundled with a Quest VR headset successor. The latest glove designs use microfluidics to push air through a series of bladders across the gloves, which...
Based on Meta's demonstrated demo concepts, a lot of the uses for haptic gloves right now look like simulations of hand-based activities: playing Jenga, thumb-wrestling or picking up objects. A lot of these ideas already are sort of possible with hand tracking, just minus the physical feedback. Where Michael Abrash sees the tech making a big differ...
Abrash doesn't expect to see haptic gloves being used all the time with smart glasses; instead, the company's been working on electromyography. EMG uses wrist-based bands that can sense motor neuron signals, turning them into gestures and controls. Meta's already laid out a roadmapfor where that tech might be going. Those bands will use wrist vibra...
Abrash says his research group is focused on much farther-off goals than what Meta's consumer products team is working on, and we shouldn't expect to see haptic gloves around the corner. But he sees much of Meta's vision as a work in progress, and haptics and future inputs are a big part of that. "We have been building, for over seven years, the pi...
