Developer Tech Minutes: Evolution of Haptic Controllers for MR/VR

From the creator

Researchers at Microsoft’s EPIC lab (Extended Perception, Interaction, and Cognition) had begun their work on touch-sensing for mixed and/or virtual reality with handheld controllers—devices we often use for MR/VR experiences. In this video, you’ll learn about four of these handheld devices: NormalTouch, CLAW, CapstanCrunch, and TORC. Presented by Dr. Eyal Ofek, Principal Researcher, and Mike Sinclair, Senior Principal Researcher, from Microsoft Research, Redmond. 0:00 – Introduction of Eyal and Mike and haptic controllers 2:07 – What is NormalTouch? 3:25 – What is the CLAW? 5:52 – What is CapstanCrunch? 6:58 – What is TORC? 9:11 – Closing thoughts and resources to learn more To learn more about these devices, visit our Tech Minutes webpage: https://innovation.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-minutes-haptic-controllers-mr-vr To hear Eyal and Mike discuss their view on the future of haptics in VR, watch this previous Tech Minutes video.
