An Accessible Virtual Reality

Haptic gloves have been out of reach for consumers for too long. Despite the technology being possible for years, existing haptic gloves still cost thousands of dollars. At Bifrost, we believe that this technology should be available to everyone.

That's why we designed Pulse with enthusiasts in mind every step of the way. After nearly five years of development, we're proud to say that Pulse is the most accessible haptic glove on the market.

Change Virtual Reality

Hardware is nothing without amazing software. We believe that advanced haptics will revolutionize how we interact with technology. However, we also know that this can only be realized with the right software. After all, what's the point of having a haptic glove if you can't use it with your favorite titles?

That's why we want to get Pulse into the hands of developers and enthusiasts today, so that you can enjoy the experiences of tomorrow. By supporting our campaign, you'll be helping us bring Pulse to market and making it possible for us to incorporate your feedback. Together, we have the power to change VR for the better!

As Seen In

"All this comes in at way cheaper than most other glove solutions out there... It seems like they're trying a lot of new things out."

- ThrillSeeker

"Offers a highly immersive experience that is unparalleled by any other VR glove on the market at this price point."

- XR Daily News

"Pulse VR glove could bring haptic feedback into much wider use."

- New Atlas

Inception to Reality

Pulse is more than just an idea - we've already got fully functional prototypes from our past five years of development. With each prototype, we've learned valuable lessons, resulting in a product that delivers an experience like nothing else. We can't wait for you to try it out and share your feedback, so we can continue improving the design!

Input System

For applications that focus mostly on hand interactions, Pulse brings your real hands into the game with our sub-millimeter tracking. And when you need it, Pulse can also replicate button and joystick input using just your fingers! With Pulse, you won't miss a beat when switching from traditional button-based controllers.

Gameplay

At launch, the Bifrost in-house studio will be releasing the very first Pulse compatible game. As an early Developer Kit, the number of third-party titles available will be limited initially. However, our easy-to-use SDK will enable developers to quickly implement support. And in the meantime, we're also developing drivers that emulate controller input for any unsupported application.

SDK

By the time Pulse is in your hands, our SDK will be available for everyone to use. It will be well-documented and include helpful examples and tutorials on how to properly integrate Pulse into any experience. And to make it even easier, we're currently developing assets for both Unity and Unreal Engine that will include simple pre-made demos.

SDK Target Platforms

Features

Tracking

Precise sub-millimeter finger tracking in 10 degrees of freedom built right into the glove.

Force Feedback

Haptic actuators can apply varying levels of tension on your fingers to simulate the shape/size/flexibility of a virtual object.

Spatial Feedback

Pulse not only works when grasping virtual objects but also when reaching out and touching static objects such as walls and tables.

Vibration Feedback

Per-finger vibration enables simulation of subtle tactile details such as texture.

Modular design

The perfect fit! Pulse dynamically adapts to any hand, ensuring maximum performance and comfort.

Peripherals

Pulse is wireless! It connects over Bluetooth, so there are no wires to trip over.

Risks and Challenges

Pulse is more than just an idea - we've already got fully functional prototypes and a solid design in place. This means that when you support us, your pledge will be used exclusively for the manufacturing of your developer kit. We are committed to providing our backers with high-quality products that enhance their virtual reality experience, and we will do everything we can to mitigate any challenges that may arise.

However, there are still potential risks and challenges that we may face during the manufacturing and delivery process. We want to assure backers that we will communicate every step of the way. We will provide regular updates on our Indiegogo campaign page, social media channels, and email newsletters to keep our backers informed of any developments or changes. We are committed to transparency and open communication, and we want our backers to feel confident in their decision to support our campaign.
