At any given time, only three nozzles exhaust air jets. The magnitude and direction of the applied force are controlled by changing the flow rate of the air jets and by activating different nozzles, as the user&#8217;s hand position and orientation are changing.<\/p>\n<p>Precise control of the magnitude of each air jet was achieved by implementing a digital controller and servo valves. Experiments indicated that user could distinguish as little as 50-100 grams (~2-3 oz.) of weight difference between two virtual objects using the Air-Glove.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Publication<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cAirGlove: A force feedback device for virtual reality,\u201d <em>Proceedings of Telemanipulation and Telepresence Technologies VIII, SPIE Conference<\/em>, Proc.
