The only haptic glove with hundreds of air-powered
actuators, G1 has generated tens of millions of dollars of
pre-orders from customers eager to leverage realistic touch for
workforce training
LONG
BEACH, Calif., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HaptX Inc., leading provider of
advanced haptic technology for organizations using virtual
reality and robotics, today will debut the new HaptX Gloves G1 at
XR industry conference Augmented World Expo. Deliveries are now
underway to North American customers with shipments to Europe and Asia beginning later this year.
HaptX Gloves G1 offers new features and functionality requested
by the customers who deployed early HaptX Gloves Development Kits,
including dozens of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
Lined with hundreds of air-powered actuators that physically
displace your skin, G1 delivers tactile and force feedback with
unprecedented realism. The flow of compressed air is generated and
precisely controlled by a redesigned console, the Airpack™. The
Airpack can be configured for seated and standing applications or
for wireless mobile applications, where it is worn as a backpack.
Available in multiple glove sizes, with a revolutionary new
ergonomic design, HaptX Gloves G1 is the first advanced haptic
glove that fits and feels like a glove.
"Touch is vital for learning tasks that require manual dexterity
across virtually every industry," said Jake
Rubin, HaptX Founder and CEO. "We're proud to release HaptX
Gloves G1 so we can bring our patented, award-winning touch
simulation technology to organizations around the world, whether
they're training humans or humanoid robots."
HaptX Gloves G1 includes HaptX's next-generation software
development kit, HaptX SDK 3.0, which lets teams rapidly integrate
G1 into their virtual reality and robotics programs. With this new
SDK, HaptX empowers developers to expand what's possible with
advanced haptic functionality, including multi-user
collaboration, in which two or more workers can handle and
feel the same objects.
Teams can get up and running quickly with HaptX SDK 3.0's
library of haptics templates, effects, and starter projects. HaptX
SDK 3.0 includes Unreal Engine and Unity plug-ins, a C++ API, a ROS
node for natural, accurate control of robotic end-effectors, and
advanced vibrotactile effects for simulation of microscale surface
textures.
"We are thrilled with the enthusiastic, multi-million-dollar
customer response to HaptX Gloves G1 since we announced the product
in late 2022," said Joe Michaels,
HaptX Chief Revenue Officer. "Now that we're shipping the product,
we can't wait to get hands in G1 gloves everywhere and help our VR
and robotics customers realize the benefits of more realistic touch
simulation."
