Exoskeleton glove adds physical experience to virtual reality

Ever wish you could reach out and touch objects while immersed in VR?

Thanks to Dexta Robotics, that may soon be possible.

The Dexmo is a high-tech glove

that allows you to explore the size, shape, and stiffness of objects in the virtual realm.

The glove’s force feedback provides variable resistance …

… based on the items you touch during your virtual experience.

The Dexmo isn’t market ready yet, but

the possible educational, medical, and recreational applications seem virtually endless.
