Is Facebook planning to launch a VR headset and a glove? A new video of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, using a VR headset and a glove has surfaced, and one can speculate that it would pave the way for the new VR-powered metaverse.
On Tuesday, Zuckerberg shared a video of himself wearing a “haptic glove,” allowing him to feel virtual reality things. The footage shows Zuckerberg digitally rolling dice, playing Jenga and Chess, shaking hands and fist-bumping.

According to a Meta news release, the team is developing haptic gloves to allow this experience and add a touch to the metaverse: comfortable and configurable gloves that can imitate a range of sensations in virtual surroundings, such as texture, pressure, and vibration.
The glove has hundreds of tiny motors that imitate the sense of touch. Furthermore, the glove aids in locking the hand in a specific position, allowing it to replicate actions such as grasping a ball in the virtual world. The gloves will then deliver pressure, texture, and vibration sensations to replicate what the individual sees in virtual reality.
