Summary
$385 TactGlove DK3 preorders are live after bHaptics demoed the new haptic gloves at AWE, showing stronger immersion but still limited software support.
Eight motors per hand—up from six—add two lower-palm contact points, and the demo highlighted texture cues and simulated weight, though the gloves cannot create true object resistance.
11 glove-supported apps appeared in bHaptics' PC catalog; excluding the official app, demos and a video player, the remaining game options were limited to titles such as Synth Riders and Masters of Light.
Hand tracking's small footprint in VR gaming is the main bottleneck, making developers reluctant to build support for a costly accessory when controllers still dominate and many VR studios face layoffs or closures.
