Engineers and software developers are seeking to create technology that lets users touch, grasp, and manipulate virtual objects while feeling like they are actually touching something in the real world. An ultralight glove — weighing less than 8 grams per finger — was developed that enables users to feel and manipulate virtual objects. The system provides extremely realistic haptic feedback and could run on a battery, allowing for freedom of movement.
