Haptikos unveils a hand exoskeleton for grabbing digital things in XR


Haptikos has unveiled a hand exoskeleton, meant to enable you to use your hands with precision in haptic applications in XR.

“We are extremely excited to finally be emerging from stealth in the hallowed halls of MIT, where their slogan of ‘mens et manus’ – Latin for ‘to mind and hand’ – has taken on a new and very literal meaning,” said Agriopoulos. Haptikos’ hand exoskeleton can make your fingers feel touch sensations in the virtual world.The company is the brain child of Agriopoulos and Vasilapostolos Ouranis, who are in Athens, Greece. The realistic tactile feedback and precise control enabled by Haptikos allowed for a more immersive and effective learning experience, greatly enhancing trainee confidence levels in their skillset for this critical procedure.”
