Dexmo VR Glove is Simulating The Touching Virtual Reality World

Introduction


We all know today that virtual reality as a whole gaming concept will emerge into every aspect of our life, Many VR technologies burst onto the mainstream stage that ready to grasp your attention. Among all these new emerge technologies, there are some good one and a bad one. But many problems in VR that stop us from enjoying the full body sensation remain unsolved!

A company called Dexta Robotics recently make a new debut in the VR world, they offer a solution called "Dexmo" which is a robotic exoskeleton glove for motion capture and immersive interaction with the virtual world. When you wearing this magic haptic glove in the VR games, you can touch, pick up, push and grasp the object while applied the force feedback of the stiffness sensation.

The company currently owns couple patents both in China and US. They have developed a sophisticated grasping algorithms for handling motor control, motion capture, finger grasping and seamless data transmission. their SDK(software development kit) provides all the needed Dexmo data and features for developers who want to use the tool to extend their applications with the VR robotic exoskeleton glove variable force feedback and stiffness abilities.

How does it work?


First, you need to play it with a VR game integrated with the Dexmo tracking algorithms ability, unfortunately, there are not many games today is developed with the Dexmo tracking algorithms ability.

When you are in the VR game, simply wear the Demxo exoskeleton glove, move your virtual avatar toward the object and squeeze your finger to simulate the pickup gesture. It physically pulls back your fingers to fit the virtual objects and change the force applied to simulate the object’s stiffness.

The Dexmo VR glove allows you feel the size, shape, and stiffness of virtual objects. The glove is built with complex force feedback algorithms to give different levels of stiffness sensation. It means you will feel differently when you touch a rubber duck and a solid stone. Softness vs Hardness.

The company claims there is no other VR glove in the market achieve to the same level haptic technology compare to Dexmo VR glove. Most haptic technology evolved in the fields of motion capture, vibration motors or electrodes for feedback, but these feedback methods don"t simulate your hands touching the surface of the object, so it greatly reduce the levels of the excitement and immersion.
If developed properly by the keen gaming developers with vivid 3D content, It can be used for education, training, gaming and medical purposes.

Dexmo VR glove Features:


Softness of a rubber duck sensation vs stiffness of a stone sensation

Better immersion experience than other VR glove in the market

The Dexmo VR glove is lightweight

The Dexmo VR glove is Wireless

The battery can run about 4 hours

It uses NRF modules for wireless communication.

Variable force feedback technology

Motion capture technology

It comes with its own SDK for the developers which could work in any simulated 3D environment

The Dexmo is compatible with Oculus, HTC Vive, PSVR, Hololens and potentially any other AR/VR/MR solutions.

Dexmo VR glove Technical Specs:


1. DexIE: Dextarity Interaction Engine:

- The complex algorithms tackle the challenge of virtual hand-object interaction

- You will see the indicator light goes on when you are trying to pick up an object

- You can"t penetrate your fingers into the object

- The indicator light will go on if you conduct invalid interaction with the object

- You can touch and push the object any directions you want

- You can switch both hands while grasping the object

2. Both China and the US patented technologies

3. The sophisticated grasping algorithms for motor control, variable force feedback and motion capture.

4. The SDK will power the VR developers building high-class VR haptic motion capture content with unique touching simulation experience.

Dexmo VR glove Price


The customer price is not available yet in the market, as we learn from the company. the company wants to focus on the partnership with the talented 3D gaming developers to develop some nice games, so when the price is out in the market, there will be enough games already for gamers to experience how game-changing the Dexmo glove is without talking too much marketing effort. Let the product speak for itself.

Final Words


As the VR technologies keep to grow and evolving, there will be many companies come and go, but the company with right game-changing technologies get to stay and earn the premium of the market. We believed the VR gaming is about total body sensation and immersion experience, so with the advanced haptic glove technology like Dexmo, they have set its goals for the profitable future VR gaming market.
