Tactical Haptics is creating both devices and software. The company’s first focus is on haptic game controllers that use the company’s novel form of touch feedback that will bring new levels of realism to virtual reality (VR). The company is also developing games for VR that are closely integrated with and highlight our haptic controller’s unique capabilities.
Devices
Reactive Grip™ Motion Controller
Reactive Grip™ touch feedback can be used to convey motion and force information using tactile feedback integrated into the handle of a device. The device utilizes sliding plates in the surface of the handle of the controller, which mimic the shear and friction forces one would feel if they were interacting with real objects. Because of its ability to recreate the skin sensations of actually holding an object, this type of feedback creates an engaging experience that brings gaming interactions to life. We have named this feedback technology “Reactive Grip” Tactile Feedback, since the device responds or reacts to the user’s motions and actions. We have also developed a new means to form different gaming peripherals on-the-fly with our Multi-Pose™ Magnet Brackets. Our current haptic game controller is compatible with the major PC VR platforms such as the HTC Vive, or Oculus, and Windows MR.
