Overview

This new deviation of the CyberTouch product line incorporates vibrotactile sensors into the inside of the fingertips. These sensors are small and lightweight, reducing the weight and bulkiness of the previous iteration, while also providing a more realistic sensory experience.

The array of stimulators can generate simple sensations such as pulses or sustained vibration, and they can be used in combination to produce complex tactile feedback patterns. Software developers can design their own actuation profiles. The CyberTouch tactile feedback option is essential to anyone serious about using their hands to interact with objects in a virtual world.
