BeBop Sensors, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, recently announced that it has won the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award from the U.S. Air Force for BeBop Sensor’s latest award-winning Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition.
The gloves are to be deployed by the U.S. Airforce MOTAR (Maintenance Operations and Training Augmented Reality) Unit for advanced airplane VR training simulations.
The MOTAR Unit, which builds VR and AR solutions for internal U.S. Air Force groups, was given the task of finding technology to enable VR hand interactions for Lockheed C-130 Hercules military aircraft radio training simulations.
Due to their powerful haptics that virtually “feel” interactions with a 6 millisecond response time, ease of use, all-day battery life and ultra-comfortable design – the BeBop Sensors were selected for the award.
