![]() This distinct and unprecedented feature has been achieved with the help of ultrasonic transducers in a virtual reality headset where a person can literally feel the sensation of a kiss on their mouth without having anything cover it. However, this one-of-a-kind application that allows people to kiss in real-time in virtual reality has been developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group. The mouth is a rather interesting area as it is second in terms of tactile sensitivity to the fingertips and thus offers a unique opportunity to add fine-grained haptic effects. Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group Rendering haptics to other parts of the body is an excruciating task, especially in a manner that is practical in nature and is appealing to the consumer. Today’s consumer virtual reality systems offer limited haptic feedback using vibration motors as a conduit and hand-held controllers.

However, now owing to the same haptic technology, real-time kissing is finally a thing in the virtual world. ![]() It began with developing haptic prototype gloves which involved physical actuators to give users a sense of touching or moving around in the virtual world. However, with the development of technology, haptic devices can now be paired with VR headsets. Haptic technology is the science of touch Eventually, the idea was mostly developed for gaming to provide a more realistic and immersive experience. Initially, the idea of haptics originated in the mid-1970s owing to arcade games which were taken a notch further by the amusement parks later on. Technologies that create real-time feedback effects with touch rather than relying only on the sounds from a pair of headphones or images on a screen are known as haptics. It’s how we interface with the world in many aspects. In layman’s terms, there are certain things that can now be physically felt even while being a part of Virtual Reality owing to what is known as haptic sensations. However, with Meta evolving every single day, did you ever imagine that the virtuality of this world could spill overboard and at some point, become one with reality? In short, the metaverse is a virtual 3D world where people can interact with each other. ![]() It means different things to different people so much so that the thin veil between the virtual world and reality has become blurred beyond recognition. ![]() This is owing to the fact that the metaverse is a virtual reality that is perceived on a person-to-person basis. Microsoft MetaverseĪccording to most people, metaverse just might be the new evolution of the internet – Web 3 or Web 3.0. With the rebranding of Facebook into meta, the metaverse has gained quite the attention from tech giants like Microsoft, Roblox Metaverse, and Nvidia Omniverse with a market opportunity that might reach up to $800 billion by the year 2024. ![]()
