EOZ VR has partnered with Immersive Gloves to launch accessible glove controllers targeting the booming Social VR userbase. These gloves are a major project in the ECP initiative, launched by EOZ VR earlier this year. Ruben of @ImmersiveDevices joined the program shortly after. He has put months of effort and passion into these gloves and it is now entering full productization stages!
VR Glove controller products are frequently requested by many of our current Social VR customer base. And the current iteration has the following features:
- Direct Integration with Tundra Trackers
- VRChat Input 2.0 compatibility
- Individual Finger Splay & Curl
- Gesture Based Input
Here are some early preview videos of the gloves:

Ruben of @ImmersiveDevices has this to say about the inspiration behind the gloves:
" I watched the "We met in Virtual Reality" documentary around the time it launched where the Helping Hands community was featured and at the time, it was a big surprised for me that people could learn an adapted form of sign language for Virtual Reality. I empathized a lot with their cause and after learning about the limitations of current controllers, I somehow convinced myself that I could make something that could help everyone, while also being a great opportunity for me to learn a lot of cool skills related to development in VR."
Ruben also has this to say about what he hopes EOZ X Immersive Gloves can bring to the users:
"More immersion! Just kidding! But it's not far from the truth. Being able to have accurate finger tracking where the headset cameras don't see the fingers and keeping the gloves light and comfortable will provide a more seamless experience for the people wearing the gloves and for the ones interacting with whoever is wearing them. More than that, even if you don't end up getting a pair, if this inspires you to create something, anything, then I think you will get something out of these, for free! That would also make me very happy!"
EOZ is extremely proud and excited that together with ImmersiveDevices, we will be bringing the EOZ X Immersive Gloves to the VRChat community and beyond!
Pricing is expected to be around $220 to $250 per pair.
