Ordered all the parts a while ago, been two lazy to try to build it until now. Now I can proper instructions, procrastinating wins yet again! :D

This man has done more to improve VR technology since he started posting than what most VR supporting companies did in 10 years

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! ;)

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!

This is what I call a true work of engineering. Its innovative, cheap, and hella cool

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!

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!

You have made my whole year and it's only Jan. I have been looking for something like this but never thought to look for a diy build. You are awesome!

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's been 7 months and it's finally here! I'm excited to see all of the improvements to this here...

More reactions of others using the gloves, please! It was really cool to see how others reacted when they put them on and tried it out in game!

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".

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

Mans gonna revolutionize commercial VR by himself, what a lad.

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!

Love the work you guys have done! I love seeing the progress you make as you go along :)

Im so happy you made this! its amazing! cant wait until i can have those

FINALY YOU'VE DID IT!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! I was waiting soo long for this video, I hope the best for your next projects

What you are doing for the VR community is amazing thanks so much!

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

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

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.

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

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!

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!

I can't wait for these! I am pretty new to VR but i am so diving in head first.

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!

Oh man, I was so excited for this video! I have to make my pair later this month

you're really good at explaining this stuff, great video man. keep at it!

He went from making VR Haptic gloves at home to now making them at MIT. Congrats and I look forward to your professional career!

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,

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!

Awesome Lucas - Great to see your project is going forward !

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

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.

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.

I cant believe how much youre giving to the community. Youre a true innovator! Thank you so much

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.

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

Really cool man, can't wait to see this progress

Thank you so much. Great video as always!

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!

This is about to change everything... being able to hold stuff?? This is amazing!

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.

You really are doing great things for vr, keep going and become the vr legend we all need.

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 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..

Currently building my first pair, I've been slow with it, but I will definitely be building future versions. Thank you for being awesome!

Dude this is literally amazing. I wish you the best of luck!

just like last time i prob wont be able to make it to the premeir, but good job lucas

keep up the great content, when will they be available to purchase?

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.

see ur vids for the first time 😍 love from germany! Im so hypet about ur project

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?

Thats tomorrow?!

haven't seen you in a while im sure this will be awesome as always

That is awesome. Well done. :)

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!

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.

You absolutely nailed it. Brilliant engineering, cheap to build and then also open source. I applaud to you!

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!

This guy is the personification of 'Fine, I'll do it myself.'

If these cost $60 to make, PLEASE sell them for $120. You deserve at least that

Kudos for the amazing work, the gloves are looking better with every iteration.

Just watched you on LinusTechTips! This is a sick idea, man! Good luck to you!

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! :)

Thank you for setting the goal of making it accessible to as many people as possible that’s really incredible to see ❤️

You are pure Gold! Thanks for sharing all of this!

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.

Mad props to everyone involved, excellent work all around!

HUGE respect to you man, I haven't got into VR myself yet, but this is really amazing.

Your contribution to the VR environment will go a long way. Wishing you all the best. Love from Bangladesh

HE'S BACK. Been waiting for an update on the progress of this project

Keep going man these will be big

I am totally impressed. congratulations mate!

dude ... you're kind of amazing. I'm super excited to see what you manage with the treadmill, ReadyPlayerOne IRL here we come XD

The project is definitely dope. Your energy is doper.

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!

Thank you for your endeavors sir!

Bro. You've gotten a sub from me for sure. Great video and keep up the amazing work!!

One of the most interesting things going on in game tech. Looking forward to seeing what will come!

Man this is amazing! I'll try to do it one here. And btw I am Brazilian too Lucas! I discovered it at the thrill seeker channel hehe

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.

Excellent work! This is why I ❤️ open source!!

OK, this kid is going to places. Very impressive. Well Done, Lucas; I saw you on LMG; great job, my friend.

this is so cool! goodjob man!

This is badass man, Keep it up.

SO AWESOME!!! love this! amazing amazing work

Mind blowing! Great job!

Great job! I can't wait to see version 5

Okay I seriously need to start learning to code cuz this shit is amazing. Keep up the good work Lucas, your inspirational in so many way bro

Dope seeing younger build channels come out. Keep going 🔥🔥

Omg.. Just discovered your channel. The world needs more people like you. Seriously

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.

Brilliant content seems easy enough thanks for a great explanation keep up the good work!

AAAAA amazing work lucas!!

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
