BeBop Sensors, leader in smart fabric sensor technology, has announced the launch of Marcel Modular data gloves for OEMS in the virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) markets. Designed for accurate control and navigation in the VR/AR environments, these BeBop data gloves by BeBop Sensors, are available to OEMs in 5, 10, and 14 sensor versions.

BeBop’s basic configuration provides high speed sensor processing as well as a 6 or 9 DoF (Degrees of Freedom) IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) which measures acceleration and angular rate. Fast, deterministic sensing provides sub-frame latency at 120 Hz for real-time control of games and environments.

The BeBop data gloves provide haptic feedback and sense knuckle and abduction motion of the human hand. Haptics built into the fingertips provide a four octave range for complex stimuli that can convey surface quality and object contact. These non-resonant haptic actuators help close the loop of interaction between humans and virtual devices with contact and continuous surface sounds that drive the actuators, communicating a more realistic touch experience. A haptic audio creation kit is available, enabling content creators to customize and add to the haptic library. Using BeBop’s patented fabric sensor technology, BeBop Sensors’ Marcel Modular data gloves are an affordable and robust solution for VR/AR and gaming environments.

"All controllers need to be accurate and fast. If latency is more than 6-8 milliseconds, you are out of the band," said BeBop Sensors CEO, Keith McMillen. (RR)
