bHaptics TactGlove DK1 (S)
Pros and cons
- bHaptics TactGloves are the first haptic gloves suitable for the consumer market.
- 10 sensors distributed over the fingertips provide precise haptic feedback.
- Made from lightweight and stretchable material, making the gloves easy to put on and take off.
- Haptic gloves cannot (yet) be used with every VR game.
- The TactGlove gloves are available in multiple sizes. For women, we recommend sizes S and M, and for men, sizes L and XL.
- Less precise feedback than other haptic gloves, such as the SenseGlove Nova.
- No built-in tracking
- This is a development kit (DK) of the TactGlove. Therefore, there are still few applications or games.

Note: Please be aware that the TactGloves DK1 are currently only suitable for developers due to the lack of native support for games and applications. Therefore, the TactGloves are non-returnable after purchase.
The bHaptics TactGloves DK1 are the perfect choice for those seeking an immersive experience in the virtual world. These gloves are equipped with 6 haptic feedback points, each with a precise actuator, with 5 located on the fingertips and 1 on the wrist. This provides a realistic sensation of grabbing, touching, and pressing objects in virtual reality. Additionally, the gloves are very comfortable to wear and easy to put on and take off thanks to the lightweight, elastic material they are made from.
The TactGloves are easy to integrate into commonly used software such as Unreal Engine and Unity and can be connected via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Since no external tracking sensors are required, these gloves are also compatible with nearly any VR system. The battery lasts up to 3.5 hours and can be recharged within 2 hours using a 5V 0.5A (max) charger. Additionally, the inner glove is washable or replaceable for a hygienic experience.
