Major companies in the haptic technology market are concentrating on the development of haptic gloves to improve user experiences in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments. These gloves provide realistic tactile feedback, enabling users to interact more intuitively with digital content. Haptic gloves are wearable devices equipped with technology that delivers tactile sensations to users through vibrations, forces, or motions. For example, in June 2024, Weart S.r.l., an Italy-based company, launched the TouchDIVER Pro haptic glove. This glove integrates three types of haptic feedback: Force Feedback, which simulates touch by applying pressure to the fingertips; Texture Rendering, which uses advanced algorithms to depict various textures that adjust in real-time based on hand movement and speed, enhancing realism; and Thermal Cues, which provides temperature sensations ranging from 15°C to 42°C, allowing users to experience warmth or coolness during virtual interactions. The glove also supports multiple connectivity modes, including WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and tethered connections.
In October 2025, SIM IP, a US-based intellectual property investment and monetization firm, acquired Ultraleap Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. With this acquisition, SIM IP intends to enhance its global IP portfolio and facilitate licensing of advanced haptics and XR technologies. Ultraleap Ltd., based in the UK, offers mid-air haptic modules along with haptic and hand-tracking software for immersive and XR applications.
