Facebook is developing haptic gloves to touch the metaverse

The metaverse will not just be a virtual reality world in which you would only be able to see and not touch, since Meta, known before as Facebook, is developing haptic gloves that will allow for feeling and touching the objects and other things seen in this digital universe.

For this, a special technology that is developed within the Meta laboratories will be used, which "will be able to replicate a range of sensations within the virtual worlds" including "textures, pressure, and vibration." The haptic technology already exists in other areas such as the DualSense controller of Playstation 5 which, depending on the game you play, changes the sensibility and resistance of the triggers as you press them, using haptic buttons and sensors.
