About

Realistic Haptic Experiences with Standalone XR Devices

In recent years, the widespread adoption of XR devices has expanded their use cases in fields such as experiential learning and task simulations. Among these, standalone environments, where content is entirely self-contained within the HMD without relying on PCs or external sensors, have gained significant attention.While standalone devices offer simplicity, they often come with functional limitations. A common concern is the lack of haptic feedback in hand-tracking applications, which diminishes the realism of interactive content involving touch. To address this need, ContactTouch was developed.Using high-performance voice coils, ContactTouch recreates sensations such as pressing a button, gripping an object, or feeling the impact of one object colliding with another. This innovation enhances hand-based interactions, making virtual experiences more immersive and engaging.

Features

Haptic Feedback with High-Performance Voice Coils

When using VR for simulations or training, the absence of haptic feedback—such as pressing buttons or touching objects with bare hands—can significantly reduce the realism of the experience, limiting its effectiveness.ContactTouch solves this issue by using high-performance voice coils attached to the user’s hands. These coils deliver precise and realistic tactile feedback with high responsiveness in a compact design, making it an ideal solution for standalone VR devices in training and simulation environments.
