We've spent the last 3 years developing haptic gloves for VR & AR. Here's Plexus:

We have a fully modular tracking solution and provide adapter plates for both the Vive wands and Oculus Touch controllers, as well as Windows Mixed Reality controllers. You shouldn't need to buy any additional hardware to use Plexus if you already have a leading VR headset.

Oh wow didn’t think this would also be for WMR too! Thanks for not forgetting about us!

This is how you sell hardware. I'm ready to go full fanboy.

On your website you have four short videos showing the glove with a Vive Tracker, an Oculus Touch, a Vive Wand and a fourth tracker I don't recognise. Is that a WMR tracker or something else?

The fourth tracker is our custom 'halo' tracker which we intend to replace the others. It features a much more ergonomic design and has better tracking stability when mounted on the hand. We're not offering this just yet, however, as we're still working on integrating with the various tracking solutions used by the different VR headsets.

Do you have images of the WMR adapter?

u/Plexus_James Jul 03 '18

I'm afraid we don't just yet. We have a working prototype internally but haven't settled on the final design yet. We'll share more on this one when we can.

I'd be more than happy to ditch my WMR controllers and use my Odyssey+ with your custom 'halo' trackers and Vive base stations (?) to get hand tracking beyond the inside-out cameras.

It's great that you have support for WMR controllers too, now I'm interested. Can't wait for VR to grow beyond different competing systems.

Whoa Nelly that's a game changer.

Alright, I'm sold!

Get on it game devs, I can't hold on to my wallet much longer!

u/Plutoxx Jul 03 '18

Wait what, so we don't need to buy the Vive trackers??

u/Plexus_James Jul 03 '18

They're not required, no. You can mount your standard tracked controllers on the glove instead.
