Haptic Glove Allows You To Feel Miles Away

Posted August 7, 2007 by nick

Today at the SIGGRAPH Conference, Haptic unveiled their Haptic Telexistence glove that allows a person to feel an object in another room or even across long distances.

With this glove, a person would be able to perceive the exact shape of an object and feel. For instance, not only would you be able to shake the hand of a person in another country, but you could also feel the warmth.

This new technology could help in so many ways. From telesurgery to feeling the texture of fabric while shopping online.

Don’t get too excited compulsive shoppers. This technology won’t be fully complete for another 10 years.
