Virtual Reality at Your Fingertips

When a person taps with their fingers, each finger generates a different vibration profile propagating to the wrist through bones. ETH Zurich researchers have now leveraged this discovery in the development of a dual-sensor wristband that brings intuitive free-hand interaction to virtual productivity spaces.

Virtual reality technology is advancing into new and different areas, ranging from pilot training in flight simulators to spatial visualizations, e.g., in architecture and increasingly life-like video games.
