As per the patent, the device comes with sensors that will be placed at strategic points along the location of the fingers so that the sensors can detect motion and provide haptic feedback. The sensors would give feedback to a control unit on the back of the arm, which would be connected to a computer system. Now finger units can be connected physically to the control unit or not and in the latter case can be connected wirelessly.
“Rings can be placed around the user’s fingers, anchored by fingernails, which can be used to determine whether single or multiple fingers are used to interact or gesture with an object. are used, and in some instances may be used to provide simple haptic feedback, such as to pretend to have approached an object or to confirm input to virtual buttons or keyboards. force sensor and accelerometer, others may be involved”, the report said.
Such technology could help when the user is wearing an AR/VR headset and instead of using a keyboard and mouse to issue commands, they can use gesture control and haptic feedback via a finger-mounted device. This will differ from motion controllers in that a person first has to physically hold it and if they try to grab a virtual object further, the effect is lost.
if above apple device Leaves the underside of the fingers open, this can then allow the user to touch and pick up real-world objects as well, as well as being able to interact with virtual ones.
