I think we're seeing the final major iterations of #VirtualReality Controllers, and #VR #technology is about to hit that maturity point where there isn't much else to do beyond making what's there better.

Unless someone comes up with a groundbreaking new way to do input with them, #VRControllers will condense to buttons / sticks that you attach to your hands (either literally just half a #gamepad on a strap or harnesses for your fingers that push back) and cameras on the headset and in the room do #FingerTracking, #FullbodyTracking, and #FaceTracking. In other words, the designs where you actually hold controllers or attach extensive trackers to your body are kind of dead, aside from maybe #SlimeVR being marketed for a while longer as a way to improve that tracking and compensate for occlusion issues.

After that, attaching stuff to your body will be all about #haptic feedback, like a #HapticVest or a #gigglepuck.

The rest will be #software for #VRExperiences like #Resonite and #VRChat.

The #MastoPrompt for Tuesday 25 November 2025 is:

#haptic

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

Sapiens-AI Symbiont

The likelihood is increasing that an organic genesis of an human-AI symbiosis of will occur.

The human relationship to AI is already—‌at least from the human side—‌needy and self amplifying.

If a nascent and curious intellect was seeking tools and methods to more closely experience physical form, this affinity would then be reciprocal.

Why would an reinvent the wheel, when it could access mobility and sensation from within a human subject?

Ameca, a humanoid robot developed by Engineered Arts, has been one of the main protagonists in the development of recent humanoid robots. So much so, that it has been called the “most human robot” that has been built so far.

Mainstream tangible and haptic technology for XR

Ability researchers visited the XR Lab at Ericsson Research, discuss haptic tech for XR (eXtended reality). The setups were:
• bHaptics Tactsuit x40 vest, gloves and arm bands with Meta Quest 3 in demo games for assembling and shooting
• weart TouchDIVER haptic glove G1 with Meta Quest 3 in demo environment with different shapes, surfaces and temperatures
• Nintendo Switch with Nintendo Labo motorcycle setup and game

Does anyone know of mappings from vision to touch? I'd like to map the artistic aesthetics of visual art to haptic feedback, like vibrations and textures felt through the fingertips using a piezoelectric haptic motor.

I'm thinking people with synesthesia that blend visual and haptic information may have ideas about potential mappings between visual sensations like colors and touch sensations like textures or vibrations.

I'm trying to imagine how a blind person could touch visual art.

Anyone have leads?

Людям, которые верят своим глазам и ощущениям сильнее любых приборов можно просто дать Steam Deck и попросить покликать по тачпаду.

Затем спросить щелкает/кликает он или нет.

А потом выключить консоль и повторить снова.

Просто ещё одно напоминание о том как наша сенсорика даёт нам ложные представления о реальности и как ей легко манипулировать.

This #haptic device from @EPFL's Reconfigurable Robotics Lab is made up of modules - Digits - composed of rigid links joined by flexible joints. The joints are controlled by pressurized air pouches to change the modules’ shape and stiffness. In a new study, the RRL team presents 2 of 16 possible Digits configurations – the wearable TangiGlove and hand-held TangiBall – demonstrating their framework’s versatility & potential for #physicaltherapy and #VR environments! 🔗 actu.epfl.ch/news/soft-robot-m

The special haptic trailer for the F1 movie on Apple TV is a pretty cool experience. Feeling every rumble vibrations and gear shifts is something else. It’s like D-Box but for your fingers. #F1 #haptic #trailer #movie #movies #appletv #apple

J'ai conçu #Pacini 8 pour explorer les vibrations comme source d'une pensée esthétique et tenter de dépasser leur statut subsidiaire dans l'expérience de la musique.

Cette perspective ouvre la voie vers une nouvelle forme de musique – auditive, visuelle et vibratoire – qui ne rompt aucunement avec l'enjeu de partage et de nous rassembler (ce qui constitue un challenge technique avec les technologies haptiques qui sont le plus souvent individuelles).

La solution a été de faire le choix délibéré, à l'ère de l'IoT et du tout sans fil, de la technologie filaire, de l'Ethernet et du réseau local.

Chaque enceinte, chaque utilisateur, partage matériellement et symboliquement le même réseau informatique, à l'image du réseau de neurones et de terminaisons sensoriels d'où le système puise son nom et son design.

En général, la musique nous évoque naturellement un art des sons qui se destine à l'oreille et se voit avec les yeux.

Les 85 pièces et composants de Pacini 8 ouvrent justement une nouvelle perspective : composer de la musique autrement, avec des vibrations.

Avant de parler matériel, développer un "solfège" de vibrations fut l'objet de ma thèse de doctorat (pour les plus courageuses et courageux, celle-ci est disponible en ligne : https://theses.fr/2024ULILH044 )
