This system lets two people communicate in virtual reality, each using a VR headset and a VR input device like a controller. It tracks where each person's controller is virtually "touching" within a shared virtual space and calculates their proximity. The controllers then provide haptic feedback, vibrating more intensely or quickly as the virtual touch points get closer, and less so as they move apart, with a special "reward" vibration for very close proximity.
Why it matters: The increasing maturity of VR development platforms and haptic APIs since 2024 could simplify integrating nuanced haptic feedback based on precise spatial interactions.
