My Girlfriend is blind and this could be a very freaking nice option to let her play VR. We did try skyrim VR and half life alyx because the directional sounds works pretty good but it requier alot of "me" involve to explain the surrounding. With haptics feedbacks (as much as possible), she could ultimatly go trough a game with me only text to speech quests and such. now, lot of you might be well.. could be useless anyway since she cant see the 3d effect of the googles. Hmmm yeah but still, she autonomously games at some games, she just finished her master at university and she is now working. oh and of course, she won 2nd place in 2019 at the world championship of blind fencing. After all that, what i meant is that she is not about to give up on having a descent VR experience and YOU SIR, you are on your way to make this possible so much faster then we ever expected. thanks alot! im following this closely and oh yeah!, happy new year! ;)
I bet it wouldn't even be too hard to get text to speech to work for the menus, if you haven't already got that figured out. There is also a mod already out there that uses text to speech to voice the player, and it even has voice recognition so you could speak for the dialogue instead of trying to figure out which one is the one you want to use.
@@wyvern_lover the design is clone of HaptX (which was presented like 4 years ago and was firstly created more than 15 years ago), he just recreated it the worst way possible with cheap parts and without most of the functionalities... the cheapest part of the HaptX gloves is the finger restriction, which is exactly what this in the video is... if this is going to be made into a product, it will cost as much as HaptX gloves minus the price for the missing functionalities, so yeah, here is that...
@@Hobypyrocom yeah but you realise that for anyone who isn't in a business that's going to buy these enterprise gloves this is an actual tangible thing they could get their hands on. VR for the people right here and now rather than trickling down slowly to us when they decide to make a rendition that doesn't cost over 2 thousand dollars or whatever the price is.
@@vamsigagjew1535 Yeah, but you realize it's a far cry from "This man has done more to improve VR technology since he started posting than what most VR supporting companies did in 10 years", right? Moderation is pretty important.
@@ww-pw6di In it's entirety it is a very true statement, due to the lack of consumer based vr applications. Lucas has in fact done more than vr supporting companies did in 10 years.
Dropping by here from the LTT video just to say that this is insanely impressive. Huge respect for you and your peers! I hope to get a 3D printer soon and I cannot wait to make myself a pair of these! Keep it up!
Hey Lucas, I am thoroughly impressed with your work! I'm a Robotics major with special interest in open-source and using robotics with therapeutical purposes. Right now, I'm helping a group of undergrads develop a very simple system that aims to sort of "convert" the feeling of warmth or cold on your fingertips with a stable pattern of different textures applied on the wrist. The coding, system and components are in a very early stage, but I feel like your project could benefit from what we gathered so far, as per to increase immersion with therapeutical intent rather than for entertainment purposes. If you are interested, please let me know. Regardless, I'll be following your progress on this incredible project closely!
First off, thank you for making this all open source. I've been working on my own VR IRL game with my actual house as a model built 1 to 1. Was literally 1 day away from finishing 3.1 when 4.0 came out. I will be (re)building my gloves with green potentiometers and am looking forward to you and your team's progress. Will do a video review on the whole process outlining my experience if I get it all working. Overall though, regardless of outcome, I think the idea of what you're doing is great. Keep it up! Looking forward to the omni-treadmill / clever movement hack you guys come up with.
A path moving in different directions and I can do. The idea came to me yesterday and is based on something that has been used for at least 50 years. It's a chemical filler. Simple and elegant solution. At the top there is a small ball that moves as you write. If you make a board with a lot of them, but bigger ones, you will slide on them in any direction without moving. If they touch, you can use someone in the same way as with a laser mouse to determine in which direction and how fast a person is moving.
Kid, and I say that with all entitled grumpiness because I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather, what you're doing is amazing. I just came over from the LTT video you were featured in and I'm blown away watching the progress and problem solving you and your collaborators have accomplished. Keep up the amazing work, I'm looking forward to the progress.
While it looks bulky it is $60, I imagine if you teamed up with a company, such as valve, you could enable this at a higher cost but, with custom discreet components that remove some of that bulk. Looking forward to future developments and I hope you take this idea to a bigger company. Good Luck and amazing job.
I don't quite think that that is the direction he wants to go, he initially started with the idea of open source in mind, such that everyone can make one themselves, without in need of relying on the product of someone else.
…or start his open with the goal of keeping it cheap and non discrete for those w low budgets… especially since vr and the “nexus” (replacement for the met*verse) are and will become mainstream
With the current state of technology being "bulky" is the best anyone can do. These are definitely smaller than a lot of gloves "companies" are making.
Yes I understand the initial goal of the project, it's not like he can't take his genius somewhere and still develop this open source alternative. I'd just like to see this as it's best iteration that it can be.
I'm not even interested in building these however I'm still tempted to donate to the patreon just because of how cool this project is and making it open source
VR haptic gloves (to feel VR items), with precise finger tracking (even when cameras can't see them) & the ability to simulate 8 buttons by touching finger tips to thumb, would take VR to the next level with universal appeal. I have a top of the range RTX4090 PC but I hate game controllers, with visual finger tracking being too unreliable, so I won't buy VR gear until gloves like that are available.i really hope you can help these gloves become a reality, and if so, sign me up for some. :)
A cheap vr treadmill sounds like an amazing idea! I wonder how you’ll approach running, strafing and jumping. Getting that natural seems like a beastly task!
This is incredibly amazing! Just found your channel, instant sub! Thank you for making it all open source and free. This is what the community needs to grow the VR scene. I don't even have a VR headset yet but this is just Amazing work man. Great work!
Oh hell yeah! Im saving up to get a 3d printer to start making gloves like this. I have a few ideas on improvements and expansion so hopefully i can get it soon! This is super awesome lucid! Keep up the good work! Once I get to work on mine I'll upload a video.
i was really amazed to see the $22 video. was interested, but had a lot more accessories to get/buy in VR too. so i didnt think of prototype deep enough to actually find for videos, cause there will be instructions someday- and now. i see this was 2 months ago. god i just love this project.
This is amazing, thank you so much for your passion towards the big issues that need to be solved for VR, in an open source fashion. You're the hero we need in these days showing real content as apposed to all the metaverse fluff floating around right now too
This is so cool! I'm so impressed at how much progress you're making, and hearing that you're not only going to work on slimming it down, not only going to try to make it easier to build, but also working on the other side of things with a VR treadmill!? That's insanity and I appreciate the pioneering work you and the people helping you are doing! Keep it up!
I don't know where to start man. You develop something that involves electronics, automation, interfacing with computer and software, and you make it work well, and lightweight. And above that, you make it open source... I'm an Engineer, 30 years in the field. This deserves a very big congrats. Keep up the good work!
Man this is amazing the only thing that I fear is that whenever you give the internet something they will start to feel entitled to have the creater fix things for them right away when it doesn't work. Which I have done in the oast until it was pointed out to me. So keep up the amazing work, ignore the trolls, entitled people, and don't burn yourself out because it will turn something you are truly passionate about into a tedious chore.
Amazing Here are somethings that I bet a lot of people would love: 1. Non 3d printed glove a lot would love this like me I would definitely make it 2. Foot tracking These are all I have I just thought maybe you'd want this but eh Luv ur vids
Dude, its people like y'all, that develop accessibility to these technologies, that makes these things more exciting and realistically feasible. I honestly hadnt even known stuff like this could be made yet, and especially for such a price point. And the fact that you're sharing this stuff very generously, is incredibly admirable and very appreciated.
This needs to happen. If this actually works, which it seems like it does, then I hope you get the attention of Valve or something so that they can fund development on this, get the best parts possible for reliability, performance quality, and shrink it down a bit, and then bring this to market as a consumer device. I'm not sure if you've innovated beyond what some of the big companies have played around with in their labs, but if you've managed to develop a working prototype that is most importantly very low cost with honestly a great start on the size of it too, then this has massive potential for actually becoming a legit consumer device at a consumer price point. Maybe not $60 if you team up with some company, but even if it were $300 by the end of it with their help and ability to source the right components and materials and R&D the crap out of it, for high quality consumer haptic gloves, the index controllers cost that much. It's entirely possible and you would be the cause for what changes VR forever. Keep doing what you're doing man and make these the best haptic gloves at the lowest price point possible. Just please try to get Valve's attention, or any company that has the ability to take make the most out of it and bring this to consumers! (preferably Valve because...it's Valve, and they literally own steamvr lol). It would be a dream to see this become reality in a consumer device..
This is ganna be so awesome in a couple of years, it's gotten this far in such a short time, if thay keep this up and don't get super greedy we'll have vr hands on every store shelf,
Me sinto tão orgulhoso, é emocionante. Parabéns, Lucas! você já está marcado na história da tecnologia e também na história Brasileira, no futuro, será ensinado nas escolas como um fato curioso: "Você sabia que um brasileiro revolucionou essas luvas e liberou para todos poderem criar suas próprias versões?" MANO! Santos Dumont DA ERA MODERNA!! criou os aviões e incentivou para que as pessoas pudessem criar suas próprias versões! Você me deu esperança em um momento sombrio, ascendeu uma chama que estava quase se apagando, obrigado, irmão brasileiro.
i love open source projects. Thats where you know what is actually possible and not what companies who only have profit in their mind what to make you believe
That’s really clever, I wouldn’t have thought of variable end-stops. I bet you could shrink the design a little if you could use the servo axle as the spool axle and mounting the servo paddle inside the spool, but that would mean further disassembling the badge reel in a way that may not be possible. Your design doesn’t look too heavy either. I still think linear solenoids would be better actuators and feedback mechanisms for this project, making the hardware more compact in exchange for more complicated electronics, but I’ve recently had to use solenoid actuators in a project. Wow are they more expensive than a servo. I’ve got to the point where it’s optimal to design my own solenoids that can provide the radial rigidity and force required, and that requires brackets for bushings and all sorts of other garbage. You may have some luck designing a custom solenoid on the cheap, since it doesn’t need to be very rigid in the radial direction, but it would likely be pretty tough and may be a waste of effort.
This is awesome! The only thing holding me back is how cumbersome it looks, and how it seems like it might be a pain to get off and on, as well as durability. Prototype 5 should totally be optimizing and streamlining the glove, maybe giving it a shell to hide all the electronics and hold them in place better, making it so the glove can be slipped on and off without worry of breaking anything, and making it more compact, etc. Most of all, wireless would be a HUGE added perk. Having a big usb b cable is pretty clunky. To me, this project looks like it is ready to move out of prototype and ready to move onto a more user friendly development scheme. This isn't me saying you should do it this way or that way, it is just my suggestions and ideas. It is your project fully and you are free to do whatever you want with it. This is such an awesome project and I am very much looking forward to the future of it!
nice job! for temp. feedback i recommend using peltier devices. they changes the temperature according to input current and polarity. the best thing, is that these devices can become hot or cold based on current polarity! they completely solid state, no moving parts. if you need help with the electronic design, just leave me a comment. good luck!
On discord, he said that is not a depth tutorial but it shows basic assembly instructions. For me, I will make the 3rd prototipe, and if it works, I will do the 4rth.
You are a hero amongst men. I've built 4 VR laboratories and at my most recent one we're planning to build the gloves you designed. Thank you very much.
Honestly, if I were Valve, or any of these other big VR companies, I would be really embarrassed! This guy has managed to make fully functional VR haptic feedback gloves and made them free for everyone to build! And for only 60 dollars! Just goes to show how these big companies that are developing this stuff are seriously ripping everyone off. If a small team of like 3 guys can do this over the course of a year or two, then these companies should be able to do the same, make it look nicer, and sell it for relatively cheap with a giant team of people working on it. This is so cool! Aahhhh!
I've been following this project for a few months and I have to say that this is exceptional and you are very bright. I got a buddy who reminds me a lot of you and he's looking to go to MIT - you make me think he'll fit right in. Him and I are building a pair of the gloves right now and I really hope we can build a treadmill too whenever you start work on that. Love the commitment to open source. Peace from Jersey and keep it up!
1. Holy crap these look like irl Russels 2. We definitely need more entry-level tech in the VR space, and doubly so for stuff that isn't Facebook-monopolised 3. My main question with these is how they work with guns, can it be configured so that a simulated gun can stop each finger at a precise point around its virtual grip, and can the trigger be simulated with resistance and possibly a break? 4. Pronouns would be nice as you have a really neutral presentation and I wanna make sure I respect that if its what youre going for Just found the channel and subscribed to see where it goes.
Not gonna lie, im here cause of LTT's video but i've been hooked on VR for so long. I love showing it to friends and family and having it blow their mind. Super keen to have a go build them. Be super cool if there was ever a way to hack them directly into the Quest2, on the go full hand VR.....stuff of dreams right there
What you're doing for the VR community is amazing. I've heard about you on Thrill Seeker's channel a while ago, and I'm so glad I did. One day I'll get the parts and build it, the day I won't be lazy haha.
You Go Lucas your inspiring a ton of people and are making vr not only accessible for everyone but designing everything in such a great way that it is affordable. Thank you very much keep it up!
Looks awesome, will definitely be building a pair. A few of our students are really into VR and FPV drone racing + simulators. Would love to setup some kind of wireless solution similar to the quest 2 airlink so we can give people the experience wire free in our lab! I'll be sure to join the discord and show progress and show issues we run into. Fantastic work!
As someone who has been intrigued in the world of virtual reality, Brooke turning into their personas to be recorded and live streamed in the internet, and worlds where u use literal physical movements, I would love to see gloves work so well and become affordable to look like they are holding and taking drinks of something, or my idea of using a “hand cam” with a controller to show my hand movements onto a virtual controller. I do believe you will create something wonderful in the market and be sure I will def get some when it comes around for comfort use on objects and items.
Brother, this is absolutely amazing! Well done! I'm looking forward to the next iteration of the design! I don't have any 3d printer or anything in that matter but I still enjoy the video
Dude, I am so happy for you that you have latched onto something so cool and useful so early in your career! This is a really cool project that has all the hallmarks of a community staple and I wish you every success with it! As they say "we will be watching your career with great interest".
You’re genuinely making me contemplate getting a 3D printer just for these. The ingenuity and effort that you and others are putting into these gloves is nothing short of impressive.
This is great. I think the next evolution would be to servo push-pull resistance based on your body’s center of gravity. This would allow you to touch the contour of objects of any size based in your proximity to that object, as opposed to just touching what you hold.
You have evolutionized the brink of virtual reality i deeply thank you for this. Im excited to see more progress to the upgraded versions pf this gloves!
Thanks man for all the work you've been putting in on this project. I'm in the process of building some myself. getting stuck with the ESP32-WROOM-32U not detecting the potentiometers values correctly but in time I think Ill get it. Thanks again and keep up the awesome work.
My respect for you is so high you have no idea, I am impressed, and offering a way so we do it our self without getting any pennies ? Brillant, you truly care about the vr comunity. I'll appreciate and support your work for a long time Lucas.
I don't even own a VR headset at this point, but I loved seeing your innovation and passion. Knowing you did this open-source and with cost in mind makes it extra special. Hope to find out that you're at the forefront of some cool VR tech in the future! Keep going! :)
Very cool, I'm still looking to make my DIY Slimes but eventually I'm gonna try makings these gloves! Also, can't wait to see what you come up when tackling the treadmill project. HYPE
We need more minds like yours! Keep inventing, keep following your imagination, and if you don't have haters and nay sayers than you aren't doing anything special. You explain everything so well that anyone can understand and your open sourcing is inspiring. Thank you to everyone evolved in your amazing projects!

If this actually works, which it seems like it does, then I hope you get the attention of Valve or something so that they can fund development on this, get the best parts possible for reliability, performance quality, and shrink it down a bit, and then bring this to market as a consumer device.
I'm not sure if you've innovated beyond what some of the big companies have played around with in their labs, but if you've managed to develop a working prototype that is most importantly very low cost with honestly a great start on the size of it too, then this has massive potential for actually becoming a legit consumer device at a consumer price point.
Maybe not $60 if you team up with some company, but even if it were $300 by the end of it with their help and ability to source the right components and materials and R&D the crap out of it, for high quality consumer haptic gloves, the index controllers cost that much. It's entirely possible and you would be the cause for what changes VR forever.
Keep doing what you're doing man and make these the best haptic gloves at the lowest price point possible.
Just please try to get Valve's attention, or any company that has the ability to take make the most out of it and bring this to consumers! (preferably Valve because...it's Valve, and they literally own steamvr lol). It would be a dream to see this become reality in a consumer device..
This is ganna be so awesome in a couple of years, it's gotten this far in such a short time, if thay keep this up and don't get super greedy we'll have vr hands on every store shelf,
That is awesome. Well done. :)
Me sinto tão orgulhoso, é emocionante. Parabéns, Lucas! você já está marcado na história da tecnologia e também na história Brasileira, no futuro, será ensinado nas escolas como um fato curioso: "Você sabia que um brasileiro revolucionou essas luvas e liberou para todos poderem criar suas próprias versões?" MANO! Santos Dumont DA ERA MODERNA!! criou os aviões e incentivou para que as pessoas pudessem criar suas próprias versões! Você me deu esperança em um momento sombrio, ascendeu uma chama que estava quase se apagando, obrigado, irmão brasileiro.
i love open source projects. Thats where you know what is actually possible and not what companies who only have profit in their mind what to make you believe
That’s really clever, I wouldn’t have thought of variable end-stops. I bet you could shrink the design a little if you could use the servo axle as the spool axle and mounting the servo paddle inside the spool, but that would mean further disassembling the badge reel in a way that may not be possible. Your design doesn’t look too heavy either.
I still think linear solenoids would be better actuators and feedback mechanisms for this project, making the hardware more compact in exchange for more complicated electronics, but I’ve recently had to use solenoid actuators in a project. Wow are they more expensive than a servo. I’ve got to the point where it’s optimal to design my own solenoids that can provide the radial rigidity and force required, and that requires brackets for bushings and all sorts of other garbage. You may have some luck designing a custom solenoid on the cheap, since it doesn’t need to be very rigid in the radial direction, but it would likely be pretty tough and may be a waste of effort.
I like your funny words magic man
yes
i will say the n word
Awesome Lucas - Great to see your project is going forward !
This is awesome! The only thing holding me back is how cumbersome it looks, and how it seems like it might be a pain to get off and on, as well as durability. Prototype 5 should totally be optimizing and streamlining the glove, maybe giving it a shell to hide all the electronics and hold them in place better, making it so the glove can be slipped on and off without worry of breaking anything, and making it more compact, etc. Most of all, wireless would be a HUGE added perk. Having a big usb b cable is pretty clunky. To me, this project looks like it is ready to move out of prototype and ready to move onto a more user friendly development scheme. This isn't me saying you should do it this way or that way, it is just my suggestions and ideas. It is your project fully and you are free to do whatever you want with it. This is such an awesome project and I am very much looking forward to the future of it!
... You do know each prototype is made for ease of creation?
Just watched you on LinusTechTips! This is a sick idea, man! Good luck to you!
This is about to change everything... being able to hold stuff?? This is amazing!
nice job! for temp. feedback i recommend using peltier devices. they changes the temperature according to input current and polarity.
the best thing, is that these devices can become hot or cold based on current polarity! they completely solid state, no moving parts. if you need help with the electronic design, just leave me a comment.
good luck!
I've been waiting to make the gloves, but decided to wait until prototype 4 and now it's here!!! Is this a full guide on how to make it?
On discord, he said that is not a depth tutorial but it shows basic assembly instructions. For me, I will make the 3rd prototipe, and if it works, I will do the 4rth.
@@ultrazar4412 I don't have a 3D printer so I'll have to make do with my shitty DIY skills
@@despressod Are you on the discord? You'll probably need to do it if you want any help/info with the build.
You absolutely nailed it. Brilliant engineering, cheap to build and then also open source. I applaud to you!
keep up the great content, when will they be available to purchase?
he said not for a while
He's probably not gonna sell them for a while cause you can build them yourself
Your contribution to the VR environment will go a long way. Wishing you all the best. Love from Bangladesh
Thats tomorrow?!
Yep :/
You sir are the next big push in the VR community, I don't have any knowledge in coding or modding but I'd love to help in any way I can.
This guy is the personification of 'Fine, I'll do it myself.'
You are a hero amongst men. I've built 4 VR laboratories and at my most recent one we're planning to build the gloves you designed. Thank you very much.
Honestly, if I were Valve, or any of these other big VR companies, I would be really embarrassed! This guy has managed to make fully functional VR haptic feedback gloves and made them free for everyone to build! And for only 60 dollars! Just goes to show how these big companies that are developing this stuff are seriously ripping everyone off. If a small team of like 3 guys can do this over the course of a year or two, then these companies should be able to do the same, make it look nicer, and sell it for relatively cheap with a giant team of people working on it. This is so cool! Aahhhh!
Branding takes alot of money but its still cheaper than $5000 :)
I've been following this project for a few months and I have to say that this is exceptional and you are very bright. I got a buddy who reminds me a lot of you and he's looking to go to MIT - you make me think he'll fit right in. Him and I are building a pair of the gloves right now and I really hope we can build a treadmill too whenever you start work on that. Love the commitment to open source. Peace from Jersey and keep it up!
1. Holy crap these look like irl Russels
2. We definitely need more entry-level tech in the VR space, and doubly so for stuff that isn't Facebook-monopolised
3. My main question with these is how they work with guns, can it be configured so that a simulated gun can stop each finger at a precise point around its virtual grip, and can the trigger be simulated with resistance and possibly a break?
4. Pronouns would be nice as you have a really neutral presentation and I wanna make sure I respect that if its what youre going for
Just found the channel and subscribed to see where it goes.
@nikto nic I assume you've also seen the LTT video in which case he seems to make it pretty clear there. Good for him!
Not gonna lie, im here cause of LTT's video but i've been hooked on VR for so long. I love showing it to friends and family and having it blow their mind. Super keen to have a go build them. Be super cool if there was ever a way to hack them directly into the Quest2, on the go full hand VR.....stuff of dreams right there
If these cost $60 to make, PLEASE sell them for $120. You deserve at least that
The reason these are so cheap is because it's diy, I'd love to buy a pair for that price but I think the cost of labor doesn't make it viable
@@Eliahninja and add to that the price of a 3d printer
You're a genius, idea for vr treadmill was even better, looking forward to it
What you're doing for the VR community is amazing.
I've heard about you on Thrill Seeker's channel a while ago, and I'm so glad I did.
One day I'll get the parts and build it, the day I won't be lazy haha.
You Go Lucas your inspiring a ton of people and are making vr not only accessible for everyone but designing everything in such a great way that it is affordable. Thank you very much keep it up!
Such a talented, driven individual.
I am so proud of you making this progress, and working towards your goals.
Good luck in your endeavors friend.
Looks awesome, will definitely be building a pair. A few of our students are really into VR and FPV drone racing + simulators. Would love to setup some kind of wireless solution similar to the quest 2 airlink so we can give people the experience wire free in our lab! I'll be sure to join the discord and show progress and show issues we run into. Fantastic work!
Wireless would be cool, not sure how that would work as there's no way of getting a connection out of the quest 2 controllers
As someone who has been intrigued in the world of virtual reality, Brooke turning into their personas to be recorded and live streamed in the internet, and worlds where u use literal physical movements, I would love to see gloves work so well and become affordable to look like they are holding and taking drinks of something, or my idea of using a “hand cam” with a controller to show my hand movements onto a virtual controller.
I do believe you will create something wonderful in the market and be sure I will def get some when it comes around for comfort use on objects and items.
Lucas, come back!!!!! We need you.
Brother, this is absolutely amazing! Well done! I'm looking forward to the next iteration of the design! I don't have any 3d printer or anything in that matter but I still enjoy the video
First time seeing this channel, the video is amazing, what you did is so amazing man, good job. Huge respect for doing open source stuff
woahh! Thanks to your cousin seb I found this really helpful cuz I am ording an ocu quest 2 soon :D but this is really cool :)
Dude, I am so happy for you that you have latched onto something so cool and useful so early in your career! This is a really cool project that has all the hallmarks of a community staple and I wish you every success with it! As they say "we will be watching your career with great interest".
Just wanted to say super impressed with all the work you put in for this! this is amazing definitely keep it up man best wishes!
You’re genuinely making me contemplate getting a 3D printer just for these. The ingenuity and effort that you and others are putting into these gloves is nothing short of impressive.
Im so happy you made this! its amazing! cant wait until i can have those
This is great. I think the next evolution would be to servo push-pull resistance based on your body’s center of gravity. This would allow you to touch the contour of objects of any size based in your proximity to that object, as opposed to just touching what you hold.
Omg.. Just discovered your channel. The world needs more people like you. Seriously
Oh man, I was so excited for this video! I have to make my pair later this month
You have evolutionized the brink of virtual reality i deeply thank you for this. Im excited to see more progress to the upgraded versions pf this gloves!
OK, this kid is going to places. Very impressive. Well Done, Lucas; I saw you on LMG; great job, my friend.
Thanks man for all the work you've been putting in on this project. I'm in the process of building some myself. getting stuck with the ESP32-WROOM-32U not detecting the potentiometers values correctly but in time I think Ill get it.
Thanks again and keep up the awesome work.
dude you are amazing! Also thanks to the growing community support! I am so excited about this!
My respect for you is so high you have no idea, I am impressed, and offering a way so we do it our self without getting any pennies ? Brillant, you truly care about the vr comunity. I'll appreciate and support your work for a long time Lucas.
I cant believe how much youre giving to the community. Youre a true innovator! Thank you so much
Love the work you guys have done! I love seeing the progress you make as you go along :)
HE'S BACK. Been waiting for an update on the progress of this project
I don't even own a VR headset at this point, but I loved seeing your innovation and passion. Knowing you did this open-source and with cost in mind makes it extra special. Hope to find out that you're at the forefront of some cool VR tech in the future! Keep going! :)
I am totally impressed. congratulations mate!
Very cool, I'm still looking to make my DIY Slimes but eventually I'm gonna try makings these gloves!
Also, can't wait to see what you come up when tackling the treadmill project. HYPE
Really cool man, can't wait to see this progress
You should be very proud, Lucas. You are a true creator and total MacGuyver. Absolutely amazing!
you're really good at explaining this stuff, great video man. keep at it!
Thank you for setting the goal of making it accessible to as many people as possible that’s really incredible to see ❤️
This man is a god, he will make it possible for full body immersion in vr for under the price of a headset
This is exactly what I was waiting for before jumping in to build myself a pair of these. I'm definitely excited to see how future upgrades go
HUGE respect to you man, I haven't got into VR myself yet, but this is really amazing.
We need more minds like yours! Keep inventing, keep following your imagination, and if you don't have haters and nay sayers than you aren't doing anything special.
You explain everything so well that anyone can understand and your open sourcing is inspiring.
Thank you to everyone evolved in your amazing projects!
I just subscribed after seeing you on LTT. Very very cool!
I don't have any equipment myself. Which system integrates best with your cool gloves?
Thanks so much! Quest 2, Vive, or Index all work great with the gloves.
Came here from LTT. I don’t have the expertise to build this but as soon as it’s available To order I’m buying a pair. Keep being amazing man
Dude this is literally amazing. I wish you the best of luck!
The project is definitely dope. Your energy is doper.
Great job! I can't wait to see version 5
