Tired of interacting in virtual reality with joysticks and buttons? A glove could be a good alternative to a controller. However, not many effective solutions have emerged, partly because playing with gloves can be challenging due to sweat and the limited number of games designed for wearable peripherals. The UDCAP VR Glove for SteamVR aims to change that when it exits its crowdfunding campaign and becomes widely available.
The UDCAP VR Glove by Udexreal from China isn’t just another wearable controller; it’s touted as the next-generation VR input device that allows users to interact with natural hand gestures. This claim, along with the glove’s compatibility with all current and future SteamVR games and its ability to pair effortlessly with VRChat avatars right out of the box, could pose a threat to traditional VR controllers.

Whether you’re feeling the intensity of a game on SteamVR or expressing yourself in VRChat with hand gestures, the UDCAP glove offers complete precision and limitless flexibility. Traditional VR controllers limit natural interaction, but these VR gloves provide a natural way to interact in the virtual environment with data transmission speeds of up to 120Hz. According to the company, a pair of gloves work on a 2.4G wireless connection with a dongle for data transmission, which has under 10ms latency within a 10-meter radius.
Crafted from lycra, the 45g VR gloves are embedded with sensors made from a patented polymer material that helps collect and transmit data simultaneously. They combine precision motion capture with integrated control modules that detect and relay the subtlest hand movements. Each UDCAP VR glove is embedded with 11 sensors capable of tracking 15 different finger joints and 21 joint angles to record the most precise hand movements, relaying smooth and stable gestures in VR.
The glove controls are fully customizable, allowing users to fine-tune their experiences to match any avatar. In-game movements are controlled by thumb-controllable joysticks and AB buttons on the index finger. Their positions are adjustable and topped with rubber cushioning for long-term use. The flexibility is combined with real-time tactile feedback to enhance gameplay. As mentioned, playing or interacting in VR with gloves can get sweaty and uncomfortable.
Udexreal has addressed this problem by making the gloves breathable and comfortable. Users can easily lift a glass, type, or use a smartphone while wearing the UDCAP gloves. The electronic components can be detached and the gloves can be washed by hand in lukewarm water. If you’re convinced this can be your next VR controller, the gloves are available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter. A super early bird rebate can get you a pair for just $499.
