Feel everything you touch in virtual reality thanks to Dexmo

As publicly advertised Dexta Robotics, a Chinese company specialized in the design and creation of new technologies, dexmo It is basically a robotic glove that allows any user to feel all the objects that they can touch and even manipulate in virtual reality with astonishing precision.

Going into a little more detail, under the guise of a glove, Dexmo offers a kind of exoskeleton in which you must introduce your hands. Thanks to this you can touch, grasp and feel any type of object that you want to manipulate in virtual reality as if you were manipulating it in the real world. All this is possible thanks to the fact that this peculiar glove is equipped with five personalized force feedback units capable of faithfully reproducing the sensation that objects would produce when grasping and manipulating them.

Dexmo will allow you to touch with great realism all kinds of objects present in virtual reality.

The operation of Dexmo is very simple since, if you are holding a soft object in virtual reality, such as some type of sponge, the motors resistance present in the glove is very light while, if we handle a harder object, their resistance will be much greater. Just in the video located on these lines you can see much more detail how this glove works.

Without a doubt we are talking about a project that it can have many applications that go far beyond being able to use it in the world of video games since Dexmo allows you to feel a very precise experience that, as its own developers comment, could be used for surgeons to practice operations with a virtual patient or for explosives specialists to learn how to deactivate bombs without being in any danger .
