Haptic Gloves for VR Training
Description
BeBop Sensors, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology with over four million state-of-the-art wearable smart fabric sensors shipped, announced today the new BeBop Sensors Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition, the first all-day affordable high-performance wireless VR/AR haptic glove built for business. Targeted to the enterprise market, the ultra-comfortable one-size-fits-all Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition provides true real-time haptic feedback that lets users “feel” textures and surfaces and move digital objects around as if they existed in real life. Currently used by Fortune 500 customers, Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition’s applications include Virtual Reality enterprise training, VR medical trials/rehabilitation, robotics, and drone control, VR CAD design and review, and more.
Based on the award-winning BeBop Sensors Forte Wireless Data Glove, the first fully-featured affordable wireless data glove to incorporate haptics and super accurate rapid sensing, the new BeBop Sensors Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition is now faster, with an under 6 millisecond response time and all-day battery life. The enterprise glove now also features a more comfortable design to fit most everyone, and incorporates more powerful haptics for truly intuitive hand interactions that “feel” different textures, with a realistic experience when touching a table or robot versus a piece of velvet, or a person’s face – resulting in far more accurate and immersive experience.
