SenseGlove, a developer of force feedback gloves for virtual reality (VR), has recently announced that it has partnered with British rail operator London North Eastern Railway (LNER) to provide VR training solutions that teach railroad staff how to assemble train ramps in an immersive environment accompanied by haptic feedback. According to SenseGlove, the results of a case study conducted in cooperation with LNER showed that 90% of participants who completed the haptics training indicated that they felt ready to assemble a ramp in real life and did not need any further training.
The wireless SenseGlove Nova features a flexible form-factor in combination with haptic and hand tracking technologies that enable users to feel size, density, stiffness, impacts, and resistance in VR. Nova’s touch-enabling technology can be used for a variety of VR training programs, such as training to handle hazardous materials, carrying out complex tasks with multiple tools and objects, learning to design and test physical prototypes.
