The company has unveiled a new prototype wearable that mimics the feeling of handling real objects in the virtual world.
that translates electrical motor nerve signals into digital commands and an upcoming “Project Cambria” headset that’s supposed to support realistic avatars and advanced eye-tracking.
“What we’re trying to do is figure out how to give you rich feedback so that your hands become fully useful,” Abrash says. “This is a key piece and one of the hardest, long-term riskiest pieces, but once this is in place, then VR can really become an environment in which almost anything is possible that you are effectively capable of doing.”The problem Meta is trying to solve is a real one in VR, one that other companies have taken stabs at as well.
Kate Healy, a research process engineer at Reality Labs, manipulates virtual objects while wearing the prototype glove.Upstarts like HaptX, SenseGlove, Hi5, and Manus, among others, have shown off gloves that are designed for use with VR headsets and are supposed to capture precise hand-tracking and finger movement data.
