Lifelike haptic feedback with TouchDIVER haptic gloves during VR Training for Energy industry
In collaboration with MAIZE, a Jakala company, we integrated these advanced gloves into their VR simulators for safety and maintenance training in the Energy sector.
Case Study
01
Goals
Immersive virtual reality has now become a well-established tool in environments that require the simulation of potentially dangerous real-world situations. MAIZE'S clients are looking for tools to train their staff safely, allowing them to practice procedures, assess risks, and test their skills in controlled settings.
02
TouchDIVER adoption
TouchDIVER G1 was chosen for the responsiveness it provides to users—immediacy and accuracy are non-negotiable when it comes to immersive experiences. Additionally, the wearability of the gloves, their adaptability to different hand sizes, the ease of sanitizing the device, were key points compared to others on the market.
Advantages of using haptics in virtual experiences
“We often discuss on how to make the virtual experiences more engaging and immersive, but also how to bridge the digital divide that still generates resistance to the widespread adoption of technologies. When it comes to virtual reality and Real-Time in general, we still rely heavily on physical joysticks as interaction tools. Over the years, we’ve observed that while these devices are highly effective for experienced users, they often present a challenge for newcomers. This leads to unnatural movements and interactions, which can skew simulation results.
Haptic technologies, particularly those that are wearable, offer a much more natural and intuitive way of interacting, making the experience feel more spontaneous and believable.” –
