Tactical Haptics commercializes haptic game controllers to provide touch feedback for VR Training and Video Games. The company has developed a handle-based touch feedback motion controller for portraying advanced haptic feedback. The device utilizes sliding contactor plates on the surface of the device handle for applying the shear and friction forces that are commonly felt when interacting with real-world objects. Coordinating these in-hand shear forces with the user's hand motions can be used to create powerful haptic illusions of elasticity, inertia, and impacts.

This technology is compatible with motion-based controller interfaces such as the Sony Move, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality and other motion and virtual reality gaming environments.
