Can't wait for Sony to use the Gamepad and the Vitality sensor on the PS6.

Sony files three patents for Glove Controller for use with PlayStation VR

Didnt fully understand all these schema, but a VR with dual gloves could make something extremely spectacular. Imagine yourself playing Dark Souls VR, doing a roll to dodge in your living room, use your left hand to bash and your right hand to swing....i would be really jawdropped!!!
Or possibly two lights per glove on opposite sides, or just use the accelerometer and gyroscope data until the light is visible again.

lol people are quickly going to find out that rolling is utterly ridiculous and makes no sense over simple yet way-more effective quicksteps and leaps.

Imagine people actually trying to roll with a HMD on.
Got a laugh from this pic in the morning, came back to the thread for another laugh, did not dissapoint lol.

Just to let you all know, there are allot of better ways to do this:

So I hope Sony rethink this...
Other way to do it with unreal 4 engine:

An actual glove would be better for the fact that they can make you feel like you are actually touching & picking stuff up.

So are they just going to have a one size fits all glove for everyone?
As gofreak suggested a few pages back, they might release it with Small/Medium/Large sizes.
I assume the tissue would be thin/elastic/breathable/(washable?).

They also have patent for those dating back to like 2009. Can't be bothered to find those now.

not even close. no haptic feedback = useless. hopefully the gloves have a good one built in.
Instead of wearing a glove, why not use a plate above the hand? Wearing these things is going to feel like a ton of work. It will be like dressing to goto the prom just to play video games. Just imagine a plate that takes an xray of your hand. Would see all structual movement. Who wants things covering their whole hand or a wrist that they will have to unbuckle?

I think this could be cool just for the idea that it can track each individual finger's movement. However, I think this should be used in addition to accessories like one of those PS Move guns. I think seeing your fingers accurately grip the weapon would help for realism.
Lol that's what I thought of first too
Thank you for this. Fucking hilarious.
Jerry Lambert. Kevin Butler is the name of the character.
Buzzing sensation against your skin. Rumble is a kind of haptic feedback.

Implying what Nintendo did was in any way near to what modern HMDs are doing. Shit the VB wasn't even as good other HMDs of the 90s that got everyone excited about VR in the first place
These fanboy comments are cringe

He's some crazy VR fanboy methinks... You're not allowed to criticize VR it's perfect and it can only get more perfecter...
