If you're interested in haptic glove technology, but haven't had the opportunity to try all the latest hardware, be sure to read James Hallam, PhD's Haptic Glove Roundup from this year's AWE. His in-depth review is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of immersive experiences. We're honored that James included ForgeFX in the report and wrote the following:

"ForgeFX Simulations gave me what was easily the most satisfying haptic experience of the exhibition, as they showed off their virtual training capabilities with the JLG Boom Lift simulator. They provided a complete set of the real-world controls for the boom lift, with a 1:1 virtual replica in VR. This allowed you to experience what it is like operating the lift high in the air, with no risk to the equipment or the novice driver. You can’t beat the haptic experience of real-world controls."

The Royal Navy has begun using virtual reality training simulators that will help sailors to learn warships operations.

Lt Cdr Gavin Lowe said: "Over my time training the Royal Navy I've seen an uplift in technology, but this is a generational leap forward and frankly a different game entirely. The new simulators are fantastic. The debriefing - allowing to accurately run through what's just happened - is a game-changer when it comes to training navigators and bridge teams."
