HaptX, a company that develops tactile devices for virtual reality, announced that the glove that can obtain the virtual space tactile experience announced by Meta on November 16, 2021 is substantially the same as its patented technology.
To focus on the metaverse, the company changed its name to meta, and on November 16th, meta announced a glove that conveys the feeling of an object touched in a virtual space to the hand. About the glove, Seattle-based developer of virtual reality devices, Haptics, said that the key components of the meta-prototype glove, including a silicon-based microfluidic tactile feedback laminate and pneumatic control architecture, are virtually identical to patented haptics technology. Although competition is welcome in the field, it has announced that competition must be fair for the industry to develop. The meta glove is actually an imitation of the company’s technology.
According to Haptics, the company has been inviting meta-technologists, researchers, and executives to demonstrate haptics technology for a long time. Haptics founder and CEO Jake Rubin said that Meta has not yet been contacted, but wants to dispel concerns and work with Meta on fair marketing that allows Meta to introduce innovative technology into future products.
Several media outlets have asked Meta to comment on the Haptics statement, but the company declined to comment. Haptics has also not commented on whether or not to take legal action if Meta does not respond to the appeal. According to the report, Meta pointed out that the tactile glove that Meta has developed over the past 7 years can reproduce various sensations in the virtual world, such as texture, pressure, and vibration, and pointed out that the meta concept refers to a touch similar to the technology developed by haptics. also did Related information can be found here.
