Hennequin's prototype of a pneumatic tactile glove has layers of strategically placed air bladders that are rapidly inflated and deflated. The inventor claims that the size, location, and pressure of the tiny air bladders are the critical variables needed to create tactile illusions. By inflating the right patterns of bladders in the glove to the right amount of pressure, Hennequin hopes to be able to replicate the sensation of grasping an object and recognizing its shape. This is not the same kind of computerized glove that has dominated the VR story so far, although the ultimate goal is to combine a tactile glove with a gesture-sensing glove. 2, record 1, English, - pneumatic%20glove

orb : the orb is a smaller sphere, about the size of a billiard ball, set in a base, like a joystick. It can be pushed, pulled, and rotated. In some ways, the orb is a better control device than the glove. The glove is indispensable in establishing your sense of presence and giving ou a literal handle for manipulating the virtual world, but the orb is far easier to use for navigation in cyberspace. 1, record 3, English, - orb%20input
