SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- HaptX Inc., the leading provider of realistic haptic technology, today unveiled the HaptX(R) Gloves Development Kit, an industrial-grade product for advanced simulation in virtual reality. HaptX Gloves empower professional VR users to develop simulations with realistic touch feedback and natural interaction for the first time.

"With HaptX Gloves, leading automotive and aerospace companies can touch and interact with their vehicles before they are built, radically reducing time and cost for design iterations," said Jake Rubin, Founder and CEO of HaptX. "Industrial and government organizations can deploy virtual training solutions that build real muscle memory, providing a safe, cost-effective, and flexible alternative to live training."

"Realistic touch is the missing link for many enterprise VR applications," said Jason Welsh, managing director in Accenture's Extended Reality practice. "We are particularly interested in how HaptX's precise motion tracking and realistic touch can help enhance the effectiveness of immersive learning solutions for our clients."

The HaptX Gloves Development Kit includes two gloves, each featuring 130 tactile actuators that provide realistic touch across the hand and fingertips. Built with HaptX's patented microfluidic technology, HaptX Gloves also deliver powerful force feedback and industry-leading motion tracking with sub-millimeter precision. The HaptX SDK supports Unity and Unreal Engine 4, making it easy to create new content or upgrade existing VR experiences for HaptX Gloves. When combined with a VR headset, HaptX Gloves revolutionize human-machine interaction, enabling users to feel virtual objects with unprecedented realism.

"The HaptX Gloves Development Kit provides a new level of haptic fidelity and realism," said Mary Hamilton, managing director and lead of the Digital Experiences R&D group at Accenture Labs. "Accenture is looking forward to seeing how HaptX Gloves will enhance the capabilities of VR for human-machine interaction."

The HaptX Gloves Development Kit makes its worldwide debut October 3, 2018 at the Future of Storytelling(R) Summit in New York City and the GeekWire Summit in Seattle. Businesses can learn more about the HaptX Gloves Development Kit at haptx.com.

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- HaptX Inc., formerly AxonVR Corporation, announced today its first product, HaptX Gloves, the world's only haptic wearable to bring realistic touch and force feedback to virtual reality.

"HaptX Gloves are the result of years of research and development in haptic technology," said Jake Rubin, Founder and CEO, HaptX Inc. "What really sets HaptX Gloves apart is the unprecedented realism they deliver. Our patented microfluidic technology physically displaces the skin the same way a real object would when touched, closely replicating its texture, shape, and movement."

HaptX Gloves feature over 100 points of high-displacement tactile feedback, up to five pounds of resistance per finger, and sub-millimeter precision motion tracking.

"We've reviewed the wearable haptic solutions out there, and the HaptX prototype provides the most realistic feedback by far," said Dr. Jeremy Fishel, Chief Technology Officer of SynTouch, the leading tactile evaluation company. "HaptX marks a fundamental breakthrough in our industry's ability to simulate touch."

"Enterprise and entertainment users require a higher level of immersion than today's VR controllers can deliver," said Joe Michaels, Chief Revenue Officer at HaptX. "HaptX Gloves will allow our customers to get more out of their VR applications-whether they're administering virtual training, designing three-dimensional objects, or developing a VR game."

The announcement of HaptX Gloves comes as the company rebrands as HaptX Inc. "This name change reflects our company's dedication to delivering realistic touch through advanced haptic technology," added Rubin. "HaptX Gloves are a huge step toward our long-term goal to deliver a full-body haptic platform, ushering in a world where virtual reality is indistinguishable from real life."

HaptX Gloves will ship to select customers in 2018. Businesses can learn more at https://haptx.com/.
