These are too complex and expensive for consumer use now and for the foreseeable future. However there is an important application where these may end up being key: teleoperation of robot hands to produce training data for neural nets. We will probably need millions of hours of data of robots doing everyday tasks to train our neural net models. Collecting that data might mean humans puppeteering robots very precisely but also very quickly. Without haptic gloves, human operators would be attempting tasks with no sense of touch at all, and their movements would be unnatural and inefficient, ultimately resulting in the trained robot moving inefficiently too. Tesla has a motion capture suit that can be seen here: https://youtu.be/XiQkeWOFwmk?t=33 https://youtu.be/XiQkeWOFwmk?t=33 In this video they aren't doing teleoperation but in this other video demonstrating teleoperation you can briefly see a hand in the bottom right corner which looks like it could be wearing a haptic glove: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1746964887949934958 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1746964887949934958
