BeBop Sensors, leader in smart fabric sensor technology with over four million state-of-the-art wearable smart fabric sensors shipped, has unveiled the new BeBop Sensors Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition, the first all-day affordable high-performance wireless VR/AR haptic glove built for business. It provides true real-time haptic feedback.

Targeted to the enterprise market, the ultra-comfortable one-size-fits-all Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition provides true real-time haptic feedback that lets users “feel” textures and surfaces and move digital objects around as if they existed in real life. Currently used by Fortune 500 customers, Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition’s applications include Virtual Reality enterprise training, VR medical trials/rehabilitation, robotics and drone control, and VR CAD design and review.

Based on the award-winning BeBop Sensors Forte Wireless Data Glove, the first fully featured affordable wireless data glove to incorporate haptics and super accurate rapid sensing, the new BeBop Sensors Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition is faster, with an under 6 millisecond response time and all-day battery life. The enterprise glove also features a more comfortable design to fit most everyone, and incorporates more powerful haptics for truly intuitive hand interactions that “feel” different textures, with a realistic experience when touching a table or robot versus a piece of velvet, or a person’s face – resulting in far more accurate and immersive experience.

“In applications employing VR, sensory touch, along with visual and audio, will contribute greatly to the overall experience and results. BeBop’s Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition is solving a real need in the market,” said James Hayward, principal analyst at IDTechEx. “We expect the market for products with advanced haptic features for VR to grow at more than 50 per cent per year through to 2024.”

Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition is more comfortable and fits most people. It is hygienic and has breathable open palm design. It has more powerful haptics for an intuitive feel of different textures and surfaces. In addition, it has longer battery life for all day use, has faster sensor speeds at 160Hz, waterproof sensors, and is cleanable.

“Our new Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition raises the bar bringing Virtual Reality into the corporate environment,” said Keith McMillen, founder and CEO, BeBop Sensors. “We are proud to help advance Virtual Reality technology for practical daily enterprise use for training, medical, architectural, manufacturing, robotics, and drones, creating a fully tested and realized, safer world.” (SV)
