These gloves are equipped with proprietary sensor technology that ensures tracking precision up to 0.01 degrees. Additionally, the gloves are compatible with major VR platforms like Vive, Oculus, and Windows MR through modular hardware and support integration with Unity, Unreal Engine, C++, C#, and Python environments. Priced at $249 per pair, the gloves are currently available in the US, EU, Canada, and Australia.
