How do you make a Virtual Reality Glove? – Smarter Every Day 191

1. Imagine conecting this to a very precise robot to disarm bombs

2. The sensory humonculus would have a really big d*ck

3. The heat thing might be peltier junctions. Probably pixelated like the bladders

4. So, when you're playing an Elderscrolls game, you'll be able to feel the heat and cold from the spells with your hands. Awesome!

5. vr chat players are getting very excited right now

6. I don’t think they change hot or cold. They probably just use a low temp for heat it feels the same to us. But if you see fire and feel cold. Your brain will think it’s burning. Like on the punisher when he burns a steak and rubs a popsicle on the dude he had string upside down blindfolded he could smell the burning meat and hear the torch but felt the popsicle and thought he was being burned

7. This company needs to team up with the omnidirectional treadmill company and create a game building platform like in roblox. But it will just be the entire console. Not an app. You could make it so there is a store where you can buy games with coins you get from playing. You can buy coins like in other games, and whenever you buy a game from a creator, the coins you spend go into the creators inventory. This would be really cool to see and play. I would love to be able to design and code a game that others could play, and feel exactly what is happening. I mean, how flipping cool would it be to mash up ready player one and roblox into a virtual reality console. It could have different servers and some could be multiplayer just like in the ready player one movie and book. Another thing, avatars. You could do anything you want in this place with your fully customizable avatar. And for good measure. The system should be called the oasis. . I hope you guys read this and maybe team up.

8. I was gonna comment but i'm not allowed to talk about it…

9. puts on glove for sanitary reasons, touches the glove with other hand

10. NO ONE CARES ABOUT ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS?!?!?!

11. Being an engineer's tough! You just want to talk about all the crazy cool things you're doing and gush over how awesome everything is; but you can't! I feel the pain! I do Software, so it's not quite the same as there aren't all the mechanical components you can physically interact with – I don't think I could stand not showing people how it all worked, physically – but on the flip side there are a ton of concepts or ways of approaching problems that you can't talk about, as a Software Engineer.

12. They probably use thermoelectic coolers to generate heat and cold

13. sweet, im waiting for it

14. The real power glove.

15. The human body is amazing

16. They 'might' not include the temperature control in the glove. I am sure it is just a fun side project. 😉

17. make a whole body thing like that for rpg games so you can be shot by a suit youre wearing

18. They should have use a liquid instead of air, it is "non compressible" compared to air. There for with the right viscosity of fluid there would be less lag vs the air having to compress.

19. Have you seen the Tesla Suits?

20. This is gold for VR

21. wait a minute at 4:07 he plays with the glove and looks like he thought he broke it

22. HOT / COLD
    Could it not be a peltier? Switching polarities or just making them small and packing them in hot-cold-hot-cold… In a grid?

23. This is crazy.

24. 4:09 ?

25. Ok I’m a little bit confused on what a haptic glove is, what does it do, also why can they not talk about some things and why is it so much of a “secret”, can someone tell me

26. “No one cares about electrical engineers, let’s be honest.”
    One frame later..
    “I’m with Jeffery, an electrical engineer”
    ???

27. Mmmhhhmm!!!

28. All this technical effort just to have guys go online and touch other guys with anime girls avatars.. yep

29. Snaps

30. 15:46 that reminds me of sticking your hand in the box in Dune. lol

31. 0:16 Anyone else notice the black dot by his hand?

32. I know this is super late but… why not peltier devices? Use the thermoelectric effect instead of fluid?

33. Ok realistic feedback check
    A thermal feed back check
    A realistic virtual boob is not far

34. so basically they are going to release dna publicly that you send in. wonderful. I loved the rest of the video lol

35. "If I grab this, and I squeeze it, I can tell how big it is because of where my tendons are, and I can tell how hard it is because of how hard I'm squeezing it." – she

36. 23nME lul

37. Peltier coolers?

38. 3:02 finally Vsauce got the answer for his legendary question

39. instead of using pneumatics, wouldn't using hydraulics be faster?

40. They could be using Peltier cells to control the temperature

41. Anyone else notice all the blankets and sheets hung up? ? p r o p r i e t a r y

42. I get that feeling the temperature of objects would be a cool capability, but who cares compared to tactility? They should be putting most of their effort into making the tactile-only glove consumer ready. I would totally buy that without the temperature component.

43. They may or may not plan on doing it, but quick heating and cooling can be done with small peltier junctions. Engineering details abound, of course, like heat sinking. Since the system would be a net generator of heat, the sink will be removing heat from the system.

44. No way this was 18 minutes long. It felt like 5 minutes because it was so interessting.

45. Wear a glove for sanitary reasons. Touch the gloves exterior with other hand while talking/breathing on it. xDDD awesome vid.

46. It's a wonder these guys don't want to hire u… U are way more intelligent than myself and understand these things it seems as well as the tech guys… U were the ideal person to be interviewing and checking this tech out.. Hats off to you with much much respect sir.
