Are you game for a full-body haptic suit? HaptX Inc. takes us one step closer with the imminent launch of their G1 Glove. 

HaptX invents and builds wearable technology that simulates touch with unprecedented realism, enabling haptic interaction in virtual reality and robotics.  

Joining me to explore the magic of the HaptX G1 glove and the future of human-computer interaction is Linda Jacobson, the Director of Marketing at HaptX.

She is a Co-founding editor of Wired Magazine and author of "CyberArts: Exploring Art + Technology" and "Garage Virtual Reality". She has helped hundreds of clients and has introduced thousands of seniors to virtual reality, social media, digital health and wellness.
