Haptic Technology Advances Fuel Growth of Virtual and Augmented Reality
ACCESSWIRE - Fri Feb 13, 10:16AM CST
WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / February 13, 2015 / A central tenet and goal of virtual reality is "presence". In order to achieve and maintain immersion in an alternate reality, that reality has to provide sensory inputs that mimic as closely as possible the inputs provided by our natural reality. Headsets, such as Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Oculus VR and Samsung's Gear VR, provide the visual input. Advanced audio systems employ spatial sound technology to place the user in a realistic aural setting. The next big step, and it is happening as we speak, is to provide haptic and tactile inputs - the sense of touch, movement and force.
