BeBop Sensors' industry-leading haptic controller, the Forte Data Glove, natively supports the newly released Oculus Quest 2 and enables developers to create new simulation & training or gaming titles built with Epic Games' Unreal Engine via the latest Forte Data Glove Software Development Kit (SDK) release.
BERKELEY, Calif. - nvtip -- BeBop Sensors, a haptic glove technology leader, announced today native support for the latest Oculus Quest 2 untethered VR headset and controllers to enable the latest in advanced graphics and haptic glove integration using the Forte Data Gloves. Additionally, the company has released its latest Software Development Kit (SDK), making it easier for application developers to utilize the Unreal Engine to integrate haptic glove support into their VR experiences, training, and simulation applications.
"The Oculus Quest 2 improves its resolution and immersive impact, yet retains the key features of portability, freedom of movement, and lower cost that we saw with the first-generation Quest. These features mirror our desire to enable VR users to move about freely and interact with the virtual world. The Forte Data Gloves completes the users' visual, auditory, and now touch experience whether they are training or gaming," says Conner Lacy, BeBop Sensors VP of Engineering.
"Our Forte Data Glove SDK for Unreal Engine is the first deliverable within our commitment to Epic Games to build out haptic functionality for our recently awarded Epic MegaGrant. It opens the world of VR-haptic immersion for Unreal Engine application developers to create new user experiences involving the sense of touch in the virtual world. Using our hands naturally and being able to feel the virtual world improves the user's immersion, drives engagement and improve training outcomes," cited Jerry Kurtze, BeBop's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
