The HaptX Gloves G1 are cutting-edge haptic feedback gloves explicitly designed for enterprise applications. Unlike conventional VR controllers, these gloves provide ultra-realistic tactile sensations, allowing users to feel virtual objects’ weight, texture, and resistance. The gloves enhance extended reality (XR) experiences with microfluidic smart textiles and actuators, making training simulations and industrial applications more immersive and effective.
Key Features
- Advanced Haptic Feedback: Uses 135 microfluidic actuators to replicate realistic touch sensations.
- Resistive Force Feedback: Provides up to 40 pounds of force per hand to simulate object weight and resistance.
- Wireless Connectivity: Integrated Airpack enables mobile use without cumbersome cables.
- Multi-User Capability: Supports collaboration and multi-user interactions in virtual environments.
- SDK Integration: Compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, and ROS for seamless application development.
- Ergonomic Design: Available in four sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Applications
The HaptX Gloves G1 are designed for enterprise use, particularly in industries requiring high-fidelity simulations for training and skill development. Key industries include:
- Manufacturing & Industrial Training: Simulating machine operations and assembly line processes.
- Medical & Healthcare: Enhancing surgical training by providing realistic tactile feedback.
- Military & Defense: Used by organizations like the US Army for medic and combat training.
- Aviation & Aerospace: Pilots can practice flight controls with realistic hand interactions.
Pricing and Sales
- Starting Price: $5,495 per pair

Future Outlook
HaptX continues to innovate in the haptic feedback space, with plans to refine the G1 gloves and expand their technology to full-body immersion systems. Future developments may include additional haptic accessories that provide feedback to the arms, back, and upper body, further revolutionizing training and interactive XR experiences.
The HaptX Gloves G1 is a game-changer in XR, bridging the gap between digital and physical touch and paving the way for the next generation of immersive technology.
Apart from the above mentioned, if it can be coupled with SpaceTop – an augmented-reality screen system (Read: No more screen. Use AR), it will provide feedback to your fingers as you type or touch the Virtual screens, that gives the sense of feel; otherwise, it is just poking holes in the air.
