push, touch


Research into technologies aimed at further increasing the possibilities of virtual reality It is a hotbed that, due to our current situation, is going to stoke its fire more and more.

Among the recent ones, one of the most spectacular is the one that promises Wireality, a system designed so that we can touch, appreciate the shape or interact with objects they are not really there.

By means of a system of ropes hooked by hand, wrist and fingers, the system is responsible for slowing the path of each one of them to offer the feeling of colliding with something.

Working in a coordinated but independent way, thanks to this we could get to appreciate the shapes of a face or even offer some resistance when hitting a button to give the feeling that we are pressing it.

The system, a prototype that seems more focused on continuing to explore possibilities, does pursue its arrival at the market at some point with a production cost between 50 and 35 dollars. Something that, despite the interesting nature of the idea, is unlikely to be more likely due to its compatibility with other systems than due to the fact that it has a pulley hooked on the shoulder, which also has its own.
