Touch the Intangible – Can you feel the digital world?

 

Abstract

Ages of evolution brought us to the information age, the age of AI and Metaverse. 

Virtual world is increasingly important in recreation and work. The concept of Metaverse that facilitates extended reality technologies like virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, is coming to entirely revolutionize the internet as we know it.

Touch is going to be, also, an integral part of it. We learn by doing, and when it comes to doing things in a natural way, nothing can compete with the human hand and fingers. Either we are learning tasks, designing new products, or even teleoperating remotely anthropomorphic robots.

Therefore, the current input devices live the VR touch controllers cannot simulate touch sensation, blocking the natural and intuitive interaction with the digital world. A solution that enables freedom of fingers movement and simulates touch sense in a meaningful way has an important role to play in this new era. Magos glove is a technological solution that aims to be the next generation input device that can enable people to feel and touch the digital world, just like in real life.
