I see a note that discourages non-developers from purchasing the TactGlove DK1. Why is that?
At the current stage, TactGlove DK1 is primarily designed for developers, as there are limited apps or games that natively support it. The bHaptics' primary goal is to broaden the range of compatible content and games before making it widely accessible to non-developer consumers. We highly recommend non-developer users to consider purchasing the product when there's ample compatible content available. You can check the bHpatics content list on their website for the latest updates: https://www.bhaptics.com/compatibility/vr
Can TactGlove DK1 be used with VR headsets without camera-based hand tracking systems?
The TactGlove DK1 is specifically designed to work with VR/AR HMDs that use camera-based hand tracking systems. It may not be compatible with other hand tracking methods.
How long does the battery last on the TactGlove DK1?
The battery lasts up to 3.5 hours of playtime when all feedback points are operating for 1 second in every 5 seconds at maximum intensity.
Can I use TactGlove DK1 with a non-VR system or application?
The TactGlove DK1 is primarily designed for VR and AR systems. Compatibility with non-VR systems or applications would depend on the specific software or hardware integration.
How do I clean and maintain my TactGlove DK1?
The TactGlove DK1 features three layers: inner, main, and outer gloves. You can easily remove and wash the inner gloves to maintain hygiene. Avoid washing the main and outer gloves, as this may damage the electronic components.
Is the TactGlove DK1 appropriate for developers?
Absolutely! The TactGlove DK1 is specifically designed for developers. The integration with the SDK is vital for seamless integration of haptic feedback into VR/AR applications.
Can the TactGlove DK1 be used with console-based VR systems?
Compatibility with console-based VR systems will depend on the specific console and its ability to support camera-based hand tracking systems. Check with your console's manufacturer for compatibility details.
