All the Feelz: The Body in VR
Details
We'll be hosting a talk and demos for our June Meetup!
Talk: Why Realistic Touch is Essential to Presence
Our hands are the most intuitive input devices we have, but they’re not especially useful in VR unless we have realistic haptic feedback. In this talk, Greg Bilsland (https://twitter.com/gregbilsland) of AxonVR will discuss why touch feedback is needed for precise interaction and how AxonVR's four modalities of touch will deliver new levels of immersion to AR/VR experiences.
