Singapore, Jan 18 (Ians) National University of Singapore (Nus) researchers have created a virtual reality (VR) glove– HaptGlove– that will level up users’ experience in the metaverse with a more realistic sense of touch.
The VR glove is an “untethered and lightweight haptic glove that provides users with both skin-like and movement sensations when interacting with a virtual object,” the Nus team said in a blogpost on Tuesday.
Even though the concept of haptic gloves is not new, the existing technologies are not able to give users a realistic sense of touch.
“VR should not be just about a visual and auditory experience, it should present the ability to interact with VR objects.

Teck Holmes, a former Real World star and two-time competitor on The Challenge: All Stars, continues to speak about being misled by the reality TV competition show’s production regarding the prize money involved.
The 46-year-old reality TV star recently offered a message to The Challenge: USA star Danny McCray, partly offering him congratulations on his successful season.
Danny was one of the 2022 CBS spinoff show’s two winners, with fellow Survivor star Sarah Lacina the other winner in a grueling final held in Patagonia.
Teck, an Og cast member from The Real World: Hawaii, appeared in the first two seasons of Paramount Plus’ The Challenge: All Stars, reaching the final in the second season but failing to win.

With The Challenge: All Stars spinoff show, Og cast members came back to the competition years after their original MTV shows. Some of them even decided to return for the second season of the spinoff.
Among them was the entertaining Teck Holmes, who originally appeared on The Real World: Hawaii and competed in The Challenge 2000 season.
He was eliminated early in The Challenge: All Stars Season 1. Teck returned for Season 2 and reached the final thanks to being part of a powerful alliance. However, he and his teammate had an early exit due to finishing in last place during a leg of the final.
Surprisingly, Teck didn’t return for Season 3, even though the rest of his alliance members did. At least one of them reached the final and had a chance at winning their share of the prize money.
