Glove-type VR Controller for XR Virtual Training

[INQ. NO. 2507E03] WHATs LAB, a medical XR virtual training company, exhibited a glove-type VR controller at the MVEX 2025 (Metaverse Expo) held recently at COEX in Seoul.
This product can naturally replicate sophisticated hand movements of users in virtual reality that were difficult to perform with existing VR controllers. It detects hand movements through a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyro, and 3-axis geomagnetic sensor.
It also enables realistic interaction experiences by transmitting vibration and pressure feedback with the built-in 4-stage haptic element. In addition, it adopted a ‘glove form factor’ structure worn on the tip of the finger to minimize discomfort caused by sweat or foreign substances.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “We combine the hand-movement recognition data of the exhibited product with the hand-location information recognized by the basic controller of the VR device. We plan to increase immersion by installing a temperature sensor in the future.”

WHATs LAB found the need for a controller that can recognize the user’s hand movements more reliably and that is comfortable to use, so that is why the company developed it. WHATs LAB believes that it can be useful for creating VR content that requires delicate movements, such as surgical practice, or gun disassembly and assembly training.
WHATs LAB provides VR digital-therapy devices for mild cognitive impairment, plus anxiety, and depressive disorders; as well as Air Glove Atlas, a wearable band-open glove-type VR controller, and virtual training content linked to it.
WHATs LAB provides data-analysis tools that can effectively monitor content data beyond VR content, and provides development support services for developing virtual training content beyond the sale of glove-type VR controllers.
