Being able to feel the virtual will make games just that much more immersive. I can't wait.

[@yak-machining]

Not only Games 😉

[@ninamatthews8747]

well we can kinda do that already. Like the meta headsets have haptic feedback. That's what they're describing here.

[@vikasv5917]

Then in game if you're getting beaten with a stick, you'll get the feeling of getting beaten in real😂😂

[@tobiasfunke6284]

VRChat is going to become one big red light district....even though it already is

[@Yuusou.]

We all know that it will become available in the adult entertainment world first.

[@MysteriousSoulreaper]

I've seen the VR environments that artists can sculpt in using Blender. I can't imagine how wild it would be to actually feel what you're digitally sculpting. The question is are we looking at a solution in search of a problem? Aside from what I've mentioned what are the practical applications? Entirely digital cockpits that require no physical dashboard perhaps. Does this reduce or increase the failure rates of components and would the impact be on the cost of manufacturing? It requires digital signals to be processed where they would otherwise have been more physical so you cut out the buttons, levers, or lightbulbs and replace them with a circuit board and a program. That could even act as a security meausre in something like a tank by requiring a login or dna lock to operate the digital environment.

[@waynelynch1]

Of all the dedicated VR channels out there, why were Freethink the first to bring Afference to our attention?

[@Yuusou.]

Product placement through a marketing firm.

[@waynelynch1]

@@Yuusou. Oh, very good!

[@alfiegordon9013]

Because we've seen this exact product demoed hundreds of times, and it never goes anywhere

[@waynelynch1]

@@alfiegordon9013 Yea, I don't mean I'm the all seeing eye and if I haven't seen it nobody has, but that I've seen lots of others but never this one.

[@alfiegordon9013]

@@waynelynch1 yeah I just mean most other people aren't bothering to cover it given the track record of this kind of product

So... It gives you phantom touch

[@ICDeadPeeps]

We're so close to creating a simulation inside of a simulation 😆

You are always so smart. Thank you for your videos, sir.

Blending this with that wristband that Meta developed alongside their AR glasses and it would be such an amazing user interface system that people could use for different things

[@aliettienne2907]

1:10 I've no doubt that haptic technology would integrate well into the virtual world of the argument reality. The sense of touch is a natural and fluid experience to the human being. 9:04 I've been saying this for a while now that haptic response can be integrated into smart rings and watches to control our smart TV, laptops and tablets. We can use the smart rings to scroll on the screens or skip through channels.

[@MyHardyhar]

I would think there would be a calibration required once the technology gets honed enough, for fine tuning the differences in people. Like almost every other project you cover, I'm very excited to see where this goes!

[@nguyenminhhienTHCSDucTri]

2025 will be the year of AR/VR/XR, cant wait to see everyone with smart glasses in public places

[@mrmines2000]

Why would anyone leave their pod?

[@635574]

Does it actually record the nerve signals too? That seems needed to scale the library of tactile data.

[@SpicyMelonYT]

"Skipping the skin" woah nice haha

[@AKU666]

8:36 It's made me recall about Morpheus from the matrix talking about what is real.

[@dreamingwolf8382]

Sounds like somebody watched the matrix one too many times

[@Homie5151]

This tech can rather have some... gratifying uses.

[@yak-machining]

😉

[@danh5637]

I don’t wish to be “that guy” but haptic gloves were around in the 90s with VR1.0. Which in many ways was better than the current tech. It’s not a new innovation!

[@Superwazop]

The technology used and the purpose might be different, could you elaborate

[@danh5637]

@ I think I was clear the exact same tech existed in the 1990s. VR failed to take off then and the evidence seems to be it’s failing to take off now.

[@Cybsound]

Ahi on y arrive enfin mes crayons

[@TheVirtualCast10]

How much will it be?

[@CODE7X]

No way.

[@stevebobowski3507]

Game devs rarely implement bhaptics support..... Dont get me wrong, i want this now but if I can't use it in my favorite games then what its worth?

[@nelson-ochieng]

tricking the brain never ends well. didnt we watch the matrix while growing up

[@namegoeshere197]

Good, that this dosent tricking with the brain

[@Yuusou.]

I hope you realize that optical illusions are also tricking the brain. Or if men were kicked in the crown jewel area, they might vomit because it's the same neural pathway for stomachaches. Our brain is not good at fully harnessing reality. It's interpreting the world.

[@iamb2348]

Why do they iterate so fucking slowly? Just skip to a full glove and start trying to make it work...
