UDCAP VR Gloves: Ditch the controllers when playing VR

These innovative and next-generation VR gloves allow you to play games and interact with your favorite VR systems using only your hands. Add-ons allow you to augment the experience, with options like precise joystick controls, buttons, and more. It’s time to become a real hackerman-person-thing!

It’s a safe bet that a majority of old-school gamers and computer aficionados have dreamed of a day where they could don advanced hacking gloves and control digital interfaces with their hands. Sure, you can kind of do that in VR. But it’s not the same. Unless you slip on something like UDEXREAL’s UDCAP VR Gloves. These badass hand covers are next-generation VR controllers with professional-grade hand-tracking technology and an innovative control module. What does that mean? It translates to high precision, advanced stability and fully immersive gameplay with compatible VR systems. And yes, they are compatible with most systems, including SteamVR, Meta Quest, Vive, and more.

The gloves are modular, supporting various add-ons, but we’ll get to that. They’re made out of a globally original polymer material and have integrated soft, elastic sensors inside. Those sensors are light, flexible, and offer enhanced precision and stability when interacting. They capture slight stress in the material when it bends, stretches, and moves, essentially sharing that data with the control technologies. If you move, your virtual avatar moves. There are a total of 12 sensors covering all 15 finger joints, offering a total of 21 joint angles for free movement. I know those numbers don’t balance, but the sensors are long enough to cover multiple areas. They can capture and share every subtle hand movement, finger wave or interaction — it’s like wearing a high-tech, digitally connected second skin.

What else can the UDCAP VR Gloves do?

The gloves are lightweight enough that you can wear them and still interact with the real world. Like grabbing a sip of your drink, typing out a quick email on your keyboard, or scrolling your smartphone during a break. They’re also waterproof, not necessarily submersible, but you can soak them in water and gently hand-wash with detergent to keep them smelling nice. That’s great news if you have sweaty hands.

Depending on which VR system you’re using, you can also attach add-ons to the gloves to enhance your experience. For example, an HTC Vive tracker can be attached to the back of the hand. Optional adapters, like a controller module, add a joystick and A-B buttons.

The battery capacity for the gloves, at 760mAh, offers about 10 to 15 hours of use on a single charge, depending on which modules are attached and which system you’re using them with. Charging time is about 2 hours. Plus, they deliver haptic feedback while playing. So, just as your game controller or phone vibrates to simulate interactions, the gloves will, too.

Ultimately, it’s a way to jump in, play some VR and interact with your favorite digital worlds using your hands, just like you’re used to back in the real world. Pretty damn cool.

SteamVR, VIVE and Meta Quest headset owners who want to ditch the standard controllers and play games, or interact, using their hands and fingers. So, geeks.
