Japanese wearable tech startup ‘AI SILK’ will participate in ‘CES 1’, the world’s largest IT and home appliance exhibition, opening in Las Vegas, USA on January 5 (local time) and launch the new ‘Haptic Metaverse Gloves ( Haptic Metaverse Glove) is unveiled.
Their Haptic Metaverse Glove is a product that acts as a controller in conjunction with dedicated devices that provide content such as AR, VR, and XR. AI Silk’s proprietary technology, ‘LEAD SKIN’, is characterized by minimizing the number of electronic components and devices in the product. It transmits input signals by measuring the current impedance that occurs when the optical fiber built into the finger socket contracts and expands.
This action is implemented with an algorithm that understands the user’s intended movement through deep machine learning and is based solely on the inherent conductivity of optical fibers and the human body. The company explains that thanks to this, the electrical devices in the product were minimized.
Based on these advantages, the Haptic Metaverse Glove is specialized in providing a unique play experience, such as providing tactile feedback when the user comes into contact with a specific object within the Metaverse content. Furthermore, unlike typical controllers that are used by holding in the hand, it can be worn on the hand like a glove, allowing for more comfortable control, and has the advantage of being suitable for long-term wearing with a weight of only 380g.
An AI Silk official said, “Our haptic Metaverse Glove is attracting attention as a product that will change the game of Metaverse exploration by allowing players to move or manipulate AR objects more freely and intuitively within Metaverse content.” “As it has built-in proprietary technology with a wide range of uses beyond AR, we are positively anticipating the possibility of entering a wider market by launching this product and introducing it at this CES,” he explained.
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition, is an exhibition where you can understand the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance. Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 1 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 17, and has been selected as the ‘BEST OF CES’, which selects the best innovative products and technologies, and the ‘BEST OF’, which selects domestic innovative companies. ‘MADE IN KOREA’ was held. In addition, CES on-site issues were vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
