ExoGlove

Top Pro

Easy to add in your own app

With the provided documentation it is very easy to use the gloves to make your own app. See More

Top Con

Lack of info

There does seem to be quite a surprising lack of any information on this product. Even on BreqLabs own Facebook page, posts are pretty sparse on any details. See More

Top Pro

Mimics the sensation of touching objects

The haptic feedback is used to represent virtual objects. They can give a sense of touching something, which can be very helpful in creating a more immersive experience. See More

Top Con

Not yet available

Currently there are no pre-orders or release dates set. Price has not been divulged either. Basically, this is in so far a proof of concept, many things may change about it, or it may never release at all. See More

Top Pro

Wide selection of OS support

Works with all computing devices, even mobile. This way no matter what OS or device is prefered, the gloves will work. See More

Top Pro

Complete freedom of movement

The device can work up to several meters away from the wireless sensor. The battery for the device is also stated to last up to 12 hours. See More

Top Pro

Instantly useable

Drivers are not needed in order for these gloves to work on ones device, it is plug and play. This makes for an easy setup that anyone can handle. See More

Hands Omni

Top Con

In very early stages of development

The gloves currently are in prototyping stage and that means that there's currently no information about price or release date. See More

Top Pro

Provides a realistic sense of touch through pressure

The gloves use small inflatable air bladders that press against your fingers allowing you to "feel" objects in the virtual world. See More

Top Pro

Easily unoticeable when worn

The glove currently weighs in at 350 grams, which is light enough to not really notice the added weight. See More

Top Pro

Allows for freedom of movement

The gloves are wireless, which allows the wearer to move where they like (within the wireless range of course), which makes for a more versatile option over something that forces the user to be tethered. See More

VRfree® by Sensoryx

Top Pro

Highest precision and fidelity for finger- and handtracking

Top Con

At $650 still not exactly inexpensive

FriendlyByggvir's Experience

By far the best finger dexterity ie realism and precision of finger movements. It's like transporting your hands into VR. Plus the integrated tracking makes for a great, lightweight form factor. See More

Top Pro

Only VR glove system with integrated 3D tracking ie no HTC tracker required

Top Con

Calibration / setup takes a moment

MightyLachesis's Experience

It's too expensive See More

Top Pro

Can be used even with untethered headsets like the Oculus Quest

See All

Leap Motion

DaringMedusa's Experience

Buggy, doesn’t work with anything, company was run by idiots, false reviews from employees, See More

LovelyTilla's Experience

It really works quite reliably, I've been developing and use it since 2013, the base software has been improved a lot since then. A V2 is now out for developers with a broader tracking range, and integrated in some VR headset. A software only version is ready to be integrated in headsets with a pair of built-in cameras. Middleware is available for both Unity and Unreal IDEs, whereas base software is for integrating into custom applications, and other interafcing possibilities are available - honestly, couldn't ask more. See More

Perception Neuron

Top Con

Does not provide a sense of touch

Can only capture motion, does not provide any tactile feedback. See More

Top Pro

Versatile connection methods

The suit itself can stream data to a central hub, which can then connect to one's PC using WiFi, Bluetooth or be transferred from an SD card. See More

Top Con

Designed more for motion capture over personal VR interaction

While it does appear the device is able to work with VR games built in Unity (and maybe other engines) as a VR controller device, it is mainly meant for the purpose of motion capture for developers of games. See More

Top Pro

Realistic input through detailed movement readings

Three different sensors are used (gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers) in order to ascertain the movement and positioning of each hand. See More

See All

StretchSense

Top Pro

Battery lasts 8 hours minimum

DetailedTlazolteotl's Experience

Uses unique engineering (stretch sensors) which make it super accurate. And it's backed up by a software solution that allows you to create poses then train the gloves to look for when your performer is trying to make this pose so that live mocap poses are steady and perfect. See More

Top Pro

Record to BlueTooth or SD card

Top Pro

Machine washable - no need to remove the sensors

Top Pro

No need to recalibrate - calibrate once, save the calibration, and use it again later

Top Pro

Unaffected by drift

Top Pro

Machine learning trains your glove to hit perfect poses

Top Pro

Affordable for most VR consumers

Plexus has stated that their hand tracking gloves will be "very affordable", and around the $200-$300 USD price range, which is cheaper than most VR HMDs. See More

RealisticNabia's Experience

No sizing possible making it hard for kids or women to wear the gloves, as their hands is generally smaller. See More

Top Pro

Low-profile design and haptics

Plexus has haptic support, while not limiting your finger or hand movement in any way. See More

Top Pro

Support for every PCVR platform, with forward compatibility with any SteamVR, Oculus or WMR heatset in the future

Manus VR

Top Con

Way OverPriced

Paying 3000 euros for a glove that compares to other gloves of same functionality that are under 1000 seems a bit overboard See More

Top Pro

Good developer support

There are free and open-source SDK's available for Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and iOS 9 as well as plugins available for the Unity and Unreal engines. This way there is a wide selection of support for gaming, no matter the platform or engine prefered. Also, being open-source ensures that anyone is able to join in without worry of any fees or a closed community. See More

Top Con

Not yet available

Currently only available for pre-order. No release date is set, which means little testing has been done and support for games so far is quite minimal to nonexistent. See More

Top Pro

Battery life that is good for long play sessions

The battery life is touted as lasting 8 hours, which is plenty long enough for an all day gaming session. See More

Top Con

No tactile feedback

Top Pro

Allows for immersive sense input

Vibrating actuators on the back of the glove provides tactile feedback from the game, making for a more immersive experience. This can be used by games in a number of ways, one being a way of force feedback in order to know something important is happening. See More

Top Pro

Detailed movement readings

Three different sensors are used (gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers) in order to ascertain the movement and positioning of each hand. See More

Top Pro

Compatible with many VR technologies

This includes support for Vive (Steam VR), OSVR as well as Samsung Gear. So no matter the VR ones chooses to go with, functionality for Manus already exists. See More

Top Pro

Easy to keep clean

The electronics for the device are contained within the glove but are removable meaning that the gloves themselves can be washed. This is great, as a glove will eventually become dirty from sweat as well as normal wear and tear. Hand washing is recommended though, as they are built from material that could be considered delicate or is prone to shrinking. See More

Top Pro

Able to be tested

Manus VR provides a demo game for each of its available platforms. This way users that do receive their dev kit device can test to see what the glove is capable of. See More

Top Pro

Good Vive controller support

There are included wrist mounts for the Vive controllers, making for good compatibility for those that own that device. See More

Top Pro

Wireless freedom for movement

The gloves can be connected over Bluetooth allowing for more freedom of movement than a tethered solution. See More
