The haptic glove is a technology that gives the feel of grasping an object or moving your hand over a surface.
Yesterday, Meta released a new prototype haptic feedback glove which they explained could bring the new generation users of AR/VR closer than they could have ever imagined in the digital world. However, their newly released haptic glove prototype has received allegations of copying an existing patented technology.
The statement was released by the CEO of HaptX Jake Rubin. He indicated that they have exhibited their technology over the years to “many engineers, researchers, and executives from Meta”. He however indicated that they “look forward to working with” Meta “to reach a fair and equitable arrangement that addresses” their concerns and enables Meta “to incorporate their innovative technology into” Meta’s future consumer products.
Interesting!
