Introducing the New TactGlove DK3: How We Engineered Whole-Hand Haptics

As leading XR headsets embrace hand-native input and physical AI drives surging demand for dexterous robot control, the need for haptic gloves that deliver rich, nuanced feedback across the entire hand has never been greater.

The TactGlove DK3, unveiled by bHaptics at AWE 2026, takes a significant step forward from its predecessor. Two newly added palm motors extend the haptic canvas across the full hand, while a high-fidelity wrist-mounted VCM delivers the sharp, realistic impacts needed for truly convincing interaction.

In this session, Dr. Gwak will walk through the engineering and algorithms behind the TactGlove DK3 and demonstrate how it integrates with bHaptics' authoring software and SDKs to enable immersive haptic experiences across XR and beyond.
