Earlier this month, researchers at the University of California San Diego presented its soft robot, capable of walking over rough terrain with four 3D printed legs. Now, a different team with UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering is working on another soft robotics project, coupled with virtual reality, that might just be music to your ears. Typically in VR environments, while users are able to interact with things on the screen, drawing and moving and modeling various objects, the sense of touch is missing from the experience. Using soft robotics technology, the UC San Diego engineers are making flexible, lightweight gloves that change the whole experience of VR, and allow users to actually experience tactile feedback when they interact with the VR environment.
