Abstract
A wearable glove for interacting with virtual objects in an artificial-reality environment is described herein. The wearable glove comprises a matrix made of an elastic polymer, the matrix including a plurality of voids, each respective void (i) including at least one fluidic actuator and ii) not being fluidically coupled with a positionally adjacent void of the plurality of voids included in the matrix. The wearable glove further comprises at least one fluidic control device coupled to the at least one fluidic actuator. The at least one fluidic control device provides (i) a first fluid pressure to the at least one fluidic actuator, which causes the at least one fluidic actuator to enter a high-pressure state and (ii) a second fluid pressure to the at least one fluidic actuator, which causes the at least one fluidic actuator to enter a low-pressure state.
