Dual Reactive Grip™ Enterprise Dev Kit
Reactive Grip™ touch feedback provides enhanced physical interaction and immersion for virtual reality, telerobotics, and video games.

Our Enterprise Dev Kit pre-orders are targeted toward enterprise training, location-based entertainment (LBE), and R&D customers, and will enable developers to add support for Reactive Grip™ controllers to their content before we market our controllers to consumers. This does not preclude others from pre-ordering a Dev Kit, but we want to set expectations appropriately…

The device utilizes sliding plates on the surface of the handle of the controller, which mimic the shear and friction forces you’d feel if you were interacting with real objects.

Because of its ability to recreate the skin sensations of interacting with objects through a tool, this type of feedback can create illusions of elasticity, inertia, and impacts that bring gaming interactions to life.

The enterprise dev kit controllers incorporate Reactive Grip™ shear feedback, which is a new form of touch feedback that mimics the tangential shear and friction forces one experiences when interacting with real objects. These shear forces are applied within the user’s hand by sliding plates on the surface of the game controller. By tracking the user’s motions and applying shear feedback in proportion to the user’s interaction forces, we are able to create powerful haptic illusions of elasticity, inertia, and impacts (see below video). The company has already developed demos that enable users to experience the stretch of a bow and arrow, the inertia of a swinging ball & chain, the impact and resistance of striking an opponent with a sword, the tug of a fish, or the kick of a gun. The company’s dev kit will allow developers to incorporate these haptic interactions into their own VR applications as well as to develop their own haptic effects.

“Core Controller” — the Foundation of our Customizable Modular Dev Kit
The company’s enterprise dev kit is modular, allowing it to be customized and configured with accessory brackets to suit your tracking and interaction needs. The foundation of the company’s dev kit is the “Core Controller.” The Core Controller has a symmetrical design and comprises a handle with two actuated shear plates and multiple mount-points for attaching the accessory brackets that allow users to customize the dev kit. The Core Controller also includes an IMU (inertial measurement unit) that provides 3-axis rotational tracking data and a replaceable battery that can be charged internally via a bullet-plug interface on the Core Controller and provided power supply. Battery life during normal use is approximately 2 hours.

Tracker Brackets — Customizing your Dev Kit
The enterprise dev kit was specifically designed to be modular so that we could accommodate multiple VR ecosystems in a single product design. Hence, among the available accessory brackets, the Reactive Grip™ dev kit has several tracker brackets available that allow the dev kit to be used in the PC VR ecosystem of choice. The company has tracker brackets for the Vive Tracker, which allow the dev kit to be used in combination with the Valve Index, HTC Vive, or other Steam VR headsets, e.g., Pimax, StarVR (Vive Tracker sold separately). The company also has a tracker bracket that allows Oculus Touch controllers to slide securely into a controller mount to provide tracking when the dev kit is used with the Oculus Rift. Thus far, only outside-in Oculus tracker brackets (for the original Rift CV1) have been designed and tested, but the company also plans to offer tracker brackets for inside-out tracking using newer Touch controllers, e.g., for use with the Rift S (Touch Controller sold separately). Similarly, the company also plans to offer a tracker bracket to attach a Windows Mixed Reality controller for providing tracking when used with a Windows MR headset. Tracker brackets for other tracking options may also be added to the pre-order site, based on demand (e.g., OptiTrack or Vicon).

Multi-Pose™ Magnet Sockets — Customizing your Dev Kit
In addition to multiple accessory brackets for tracking, the Core Controller also supports the addition of Multi-Pose™ Magnet Sockets. Multi-Pose™ Magnet Sockets are a new concept for reconfiguring controllers on-the-fly using magnets. These magnet sockets provide connect-points on each of the controllers to form semi-rigid connections between the controllers. This allows users to transform their VR interactions by acting out their intended actions with their hands – keeping them immersed in the VR experience (see neighboring video). For example, in a shooter game a user wielding pistols could join the controllers together in the side-by-side gamepad pose to form a deck gun, or join the controllers in the machine gun pose to form a Tommy gun. It should be noted that the modularity of the Core Controller also allows for other future mods that are as yet TBD, which the company hopes will stimulate the creativity of its partners and the maker community.

The Core Controller is planned to be made of injection molded plastics, whereas accessory brackets (tracker & Multi-Pose™ brackets) may be made of high-quality 3D print materials (such as SLS nylon). Dev kits are projected to begin shipping in Q4 2019. Pre-orders will open first for US-based shipping and billing addresses. For interest in international pre-orders or for developers that need earlier access to Dev Kits to support integration of Reactive Grip™ controllers into their game or app, please contact us at our “info@” email address. We hope to make a limited number of early 3D printed Dev Kits available, though the high cost of the small-batch 3D-printed parts will mean these early dev kits will be more expensive that the Q4 production units.

The enterprise dev kits will ship with demo builds of the company’s tech demos and the company has an SDK with plugins for both the Unity and Unreal game engines.

Neues Hands-On von Tested, zu diesem Controller.

We go hands-on with Tactical Haptics' custom VR controllers. Their novel approach of using sheer forces in virtual reality controllers really surprised and impressed us--it may be the most interesting implementation of haptic feedback we've tried so far. Plus, we review and recommend the game Freediver!

Vollkommen abgefahren. Ich liebe diese Ideen, die 'weit draußen' sind - auch wenn ich die vermutlich nie selber in der Hand halten werde.

Balmung · 6. Februar 2022

Ah, hier ist er ja, genau den hab ich gesucht.

Die Irren wollen inzwischen rund 3000$ für ihre einfache Version, 4000$ mit ihrem Magnet System...

Ob die aber noch leben? Letzte News vom Sep. 2020, Copyright ihrer Seite steht noch auf 2019 und sonst hat man leider auch nichts mehr davon gehört.
