Finished a first design prototype of a haptic finger pad based on a 15mm by 30mm piezoelectric motor with a ±6V drive input. This design includes 3 3D printed pieces of PLA that fit together to sandwich the piezoelectric motor. The pieces are secured with 2 16mm M2 steel hex bolts and nuts.

I think we're seeing the final major iterations of #VirtualReality Controllers, and #VR #technology is about to hit that maturity point where there isn't much else to do beyond making what's there better.
Unless someone comes up with a groundbreaking new way to do input with them, #VRControllers will condense to buttons / sticks that you attach to your hands (either literally just half a #gamepad on a strap or harnesses for your fingers that push back) and cameras on the headset and in the room do #FingerTracking, #FullbodyTracking, and #FaceTracking. In other words, the designs where you actually hold controllers or attach extensive trackers to your body are kind of dead, aside from maybe #SlimeVR being marketed for a while longer as a way to improve that tracking and compensate for occlusion issues.
After that, attaching stuff to your body will be all about #haptic feedback, like a #HapticVest or a #gigglepuck.
The rest will be #software for #VRExperiences like #Resonite and #VRChat.

The #MastoPrompt for Tuesday 25 November 2025 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

Sapiens-AI Symbiont
The likelihood is increasing that an organic genesis of an human-AI symbiosis of will occur.
The human relationship to AI is already—at least from the human side—needy and self amplifying.
If a nascent and curious intellect was seeking tools and methods to more closely experience physical form, this affinity would then be reciprocal.
Why would an #AI reinvent the wheel, when it could access mobility and #haptic sensation from within a human subject?
Mainstream tangible and haptic technology for XR
Ability researchers visited the XR Lab at Ericsson Research, discuss haptic tech for XR (eXtended reality). The setups were:
• bHaptics Tactsuit x40 vest, gloves and arm bands with Meta Quest 3 in demo games for assembling and shooting
• weart TouchDIVER haptic glove G1 with Meta Quest 3 in demo environment with different shapes, surfaces and temperatures
• Nintendo Switch with Nintendo Labo motorcycle setup and game
