FreeAim Vr Shoes
We saw glasses, suits, gloves now get ready for shoes:
The product in question is an innovative VR shoe designed to offer a natural and immersive walking experience within virtual reality. Users can walk and jog freely in any direction, with the set-up taking just 10 to 15 minutes to master.
Unlike traditional VR movement solutions, these shoes allow for normal side-stepping and are stable and safe, resembling the feel of walking on a treadmill but with the freedom of multidirectional movement.
The shoes are lightweight, compact, and fully wireless, making them easy to store and transport. They come with a small carry case and are suitable for a wide range of foot sizes.
The VR shoes require a small play area of approximately 2m x 2m and include a positional correction feature to keep users safe and centered within their space. It might take a little bit to get used to but the trial tests showed that users feel comfortable in the shoes as fast as 2 hours of wearing, where as existing holo stages keeps users slightly disorientated for 2 weeks.
People might think you are very good at moonwalk but in reality you are exploring a house in VR.
Currently, a Developer Kit edition is available for $4,999, aimed at businesses and organizations for evaluation. This version includes advanced features such as data analytics and comprehensive safety checks integrated into both software and hardware. The consumer model is expected to launch in 2025, with a price estimated around $1,000.
TouchDIVER Haptic Glove | WEART Haptics
The TouchDIVER G1 is an advanced haptic glove designed to enhance XR (Extended Reality) experiences by providing lifelike tactile feedback. It simulates various sensations, including force, textures, and temperature (15°C to 42°C), for a truly immersive experience.
The glove tracks hand and finger movements with precision, allowing natural interaction with virtual environments. Equipped with an SDK, it integrates seamlessly with platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine, and it’s compatible with major VR headsets like Meta Quest, Pico, and HTC Vive.
- The glove’s thermal feedback adds a unique layer of realism by mimicking real-world temperature variations.
- WEART’s algorithms dynamically adjust tactile signals based on hand speed and movement, ensuring consistent immersion.
Charge the glove for one hour before use, pair it with your XR headset via Bluetooth or connect it using the wired option for continuous use. When wearing the glove you can adjust the fit for more comfortable use and better sensor interactions. You can switch between standalone and PC-based modes depending on your setup requirements.
For “only” 3,900 euros you can purchase this now.

TapXR: Revolutionizing the Future of User Interaction
The TapXR is a cutting-edge wearable device that transforms how we interact with digital environments. It uses advanced motion and optical sensors to detect finger gestures, which are processed by a neural processor and converted into commands sent via Bluetooth to your devices, making it feel like an extension of your hand.
The TapXR’s ability to operate on various surfaces and its customizable features mark a significant shift in user interaction. It offers natural and ergonomic control, reducing strain over time.
Modes of Operation — different settings
- Keyboard Mode: Functions as a virtual keyboard.
- AirMouse Mode: Acts as a precise pointing device.
- Customizable Commands: Allows for custom gesture programming.
- Raw SDK Mode: Provides developers with raw sensor data for custom applications.
The TapXR is more than just a gadget: it’s a revolutionary tool that enhances digital interaction, offering seamless and intuitive control. Whether for everyday use or specialized tasks, it adapts to your needs, making technology feel more natural and accessible.
The Tap Alphabet
Every finger combination represents a different input with TapXR distinguishing between single taps, double taps and triple taps — enabling the ultimate flexibility
Tapping trains your muscle memory that each finger combination transmits a different key, macro, or combinations of keys.
Within roughly 10 hours of practice most people report that Tapping becomes second nature, like riding a bike!
If you feel like challenging your brain and developing extra coordination skills this is for you! Morse code has evolved into tap alphabet.
The main problem
Virtual reality is a very fast growing industry with a lot of perspective for growth and expansion. However most products require a lot of development research and complicated engineering work — hence the very high prices that are not affordable for average user.
In the future we expect the prices to drop when full mass production becomes available and the technology spreads all over the globe and marketplaces.
