Topic: CES 2021: are we going towards VR pianos?

As VR technology develops more and more, haptic gloves are starting to do more and more of a thing.

CES 2021, the annual consumer tech showcase that is going on virtually this week, saw the introduction of Senseglove's Nova gloves (https://www.senseglove.com/nova/). Although haptic feedback has been around for a while now, those (admittedly costly) gloves immediately caught my attention and jumpstarted my geeky imagination, as they allow allow not only the precise hand tracking, but also a claibrated force feedback on each finger.

"The haptic gloves use a stretchable, easy-to-put-on material that enables smooth hand tracking that allows users to more easily feel shapes, textures, stiffness, impact and resistance in VR.
The company says the gloves’ touch-enabling technology will help upscale different types of VR training programs, from handling hazardous materials to designing and learning physical prototypes.
The haptic glove is based on the human tendon muscle system and emulates the feeling of an object’s density and size by applying resistance through its magnetic friction brakes. The glove has four “brakes” for four fingers from the thumb to the ring finger, with each ‘brake’ delivering up to 20 Newton of force. This force is equivalent to the weight of a 4.4 pound (two kilograms) of brick on each finger." Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferhi...g-forever/

From this description it seems clear to me that we are only a few step steps away from having the perfect and most portable digital piano controller in our VR headset/AR goggles.

What do you make of it?
