Can You Truly Feel the Virtual World?

The HaptX Gloves G1 are built to bring the sense of touch into virtual spaces using microfluidic actuators tiny air-powered pockets that press against the skin to recreate lifelike sensations. Combined with a force feedback system capable of applying up to 40 pounds of resistance, the gloves let users feel the weight, structure, and resistance of virtual objects with surprising realism. Instead of simply seeing or hearing digital experiences, these gloves invite users to physically engage with them.

Their real strength lies in where they’re used. In medical training, they let students practice procedures with tactile accuracy, adding depth to hands-on learning without physical risk. In product design, teams can handle and test virtual prototypes before any material is shaped. And in hazardous environments—where machines are operated remotely—the gloves give users a feel for what the robot touches, making fine-tuned tasks safer and more precise.

By reintroducing touch into digital environments, the HaptX Gloves G1 reshape how we interact with technology. They turn distant actions into close experiences replacing the guesswork of virtual control with something much more intuitive: feel.
