From: "Mikkel Strobech" Subject: TECH: VR Glove component needed Date: 4 Mar 1997 22:45:18 GMT Message-ID: <01bc28ee$1d87d560$9539eac2@mikkel> Organization: Image Scandinavia My friend is a design student, and he is looking for information about the existence of a certain kind of VR glove-material with force feedback. He is interested in the material because of its special properties. It must be acting as a firm cord-extension for a lamp, but yet soft and flexible when a button is pressed. My friend is wondering whether a material exists, that can be stimulated by electric impulses, so that it gets hardened or perhaps, softer. This is believed to be used in haptic force feedback gloves in Virtual reality systems of some kind, but we are unable to find anything using websearchers. Perhaps any of you out there can help?
