At the end of December, 2019 the British company Teslasuit provided gloves with a tactile feedback which allows users to feel objects in virtual reality. The product under the name Teslasuit Glove will go on sale during the 2020th.

Immersive Teslasuit technologies will be used when training in spheres of public security, medicine, sport and in the space industry. The device combines a number of technologies for simultaneous creation of tactile feelings, occupation of the movement and biometrics. Gloves can be used in combination with a Teslasuit suit to provide assessment of movements of all body or a tactile feedback in virtual reality. The integrated biometric system collects data in real time and controls an emotional status, level of a stress and heart rate of the user.

Main competitors of a Teslasuit glove are the solution Manus VR and HaptX. The lack of a superthin feedback of Teslasuit compensates for the account of wide feature set. On each finger of a glove nine electrodes which recreate texture of a surface are provided, and the exoskeleton imitates resistance and vibration of firm objects.

Teslasuit — one of several companies specializing in tactile devices and management systems for the movement which began the activity during a boom of VR technologies in the middle of the 10th years. The startup officially announced the first product in 2018 and since then works with business partners, using immersive technologies for training of astronauts, in trainings on abnormal evacuation and in other modelled scenarios. Creators do not exclude a possibility of use of the technologies for games and entertainments, but the initial price about $5000 limits this scope.^[1]
