The term ‘Virtual reality’ (VR) was initially coined by Jaron Lanier, founder of VPL Research (1989). At that time it was basically used in flight simulation to train pilots.

Pinch glove enables natural interaction with objects. It uses hand- signs to execute actions. It continuously tracks the motion of the user’s hand & limb and accordingly gives signal to the transmitter. Pinch glove enables natural interaction with objects.

Three networked users at different locations (anywhere in the world) meet in the same virtual world by using different devices. Each user is presented as a virtual human (avatar) to the other participants. The users can see & communicate with each other as a team in a virtual world.
