THE OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL OBJECTS WITH G-GLOVE
As part of the G-GLOVE project, which came first in its category at TEKNOFEST 2023, a prototype ‘haptic glove’ was produced as a wearable technology with an original mechanical design, for use in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications, capable of giving a greater sense of reality than similar products and at a lower cost.
