Tactile Vibration Feedback Gloves

The US space agency NASA plans to develop a new space glove, has the function of tactile vibration feedback, and built-in accelerometer-based air flows. All of these functions, according to space agency should make the work of the astronauts in outer space more comfortable in the future and allow them to perform more accurate certain space work.

At present, a potential candidate for the production of innovative space gloves - the Barron Associates company, they presented a conceptual design this week. Richard Adams, a company spokesman, said that the gloves are built several specialized vibrating elements, a task which will recreate conditions similar to those as if the astronauts performed mechanical work with bare hands on the ground.

"The system simulation will stimulate the neuro-receptors in the fingers and the palms of users, the gloves will be able to play several different types of movements and technical impact on the subjects," - says Richards. According to him, the astronauts through the gloves will feel as though certain objects or surfaces.

The highlight will be the space gloves that work with tactile system and they will be built not only in parts in contact with the palm, but also with each finger, which should further refine sensation. Richards said that the concept underlying the cosmic gloves may find application in the real world, particularly in the design of three-dimensional virtual interfaces.

Future of Haptic Feedback Technology

The interface between humans and computers has been described as an information bottleneck. Computers can store and process vast amounts of data, and humans experience and learn through five senses. But computers typically only take advantage of one or two sensory channels (sight and sound) to transmit information to people. Haptics promises to open this bottleneck by adding a new channel of communication using the Sense of Touch. Haptic Feedback expands the notion of bidirectional communication between humans and computers to include sensory feedback.

Future of Haptic Technology

Active learning strategies result in stronger comprehension of subjects, and haptics provides a mechanism through which students can actively engage in learning a range of ideas and skills, putting control of learning literally into their hands. Haptic Feedback also has a growing role in Assistive Technologies. The haptic mouse, for instance, provides sensory feedback that allows users with visual impairments to "read" a computer screen by feeling buttons and other elements. Such devices can also benefit users without disabilities but who are tactile or kinesthetic learners.

What the world is waiting for?

Development and refining of various kinds of Haptic Interfaces will continue, providing more and increasingly lifelike interactions with virtual objects and environments. Researchers will continue to investigate possible avenues for haptics to complement real experiences. Advances in hardware will provide opportunities to produce Haptic Devices in smaller packages, and Haptic Technology will find its way into increasingly commonplace tools. Additionally, consumer-grade haptic devices are starting to appear on the market. As access to haptics increases, usage patterns and preferences will inform best practices and applications ultimately, users will decide which activities are appropriately represented through Haptics and which are perhaps better left in the real world.
