The Teslasuit comes with an improved Virtual Reality (VR) Glove that you can use to feel virtual objects and track your pulse. This already impressive full body suit from Tesla is breaking the tech boundaries.
On the Teslasuit website, it states that it provides training solutions that help the human body and mind perform better. The official page description reads:
“The Teslasuit training solution provides outputs from haptic feedback and climate control to [users] and receives inputs from motion capture and biometrics. With our software and partner ecosystem, this technology is a complete solution for improving human performance.”
Now the suit will have a new device simply termed: Teslasuit Glove. Despite being scheduled for debut by January 2020 at the CES, shipping will start in the second half of 2020.
This glove is mainly for training purposes. It will be able to create the sensation and feeling of holding virtual objects as if they were real. Also, the device will be able to follow hand motions, record pulse and some vital biometric information. It uses a combination of many technologies to achieve this.

Since it is pairable with the already functional suit, it will help humans reach new heights. The Teslasuit paired with the Glove will help people in training function from reflex under duress. The unprecedented tools for physical action mastery will, with analytics, help to understand and improve performance.
However, the Teslasuit Glove faces competition in the market. According to an article by The Verge, there are companies like Manus VR and HaptX in this field already. The HaptX products, for example, give hyper-fine feedback.
But Tesla’s latest device has some advantages over the existing ones. The article further expands on the other uses:
“[it comes with a] basic haptic and force feedback capabilities: an array of nine electrodes on each finger produce the sensation of touching a nonexistent surface, while a plastic exoskeleton creates resistance and vibration to simulate interacting with solid objects.”
There is also the aforementioned motion tracking and pulse monitoring. But the glove is not part of the products that the CES participants can test. They can, however, test the suit which is priced at about $5,000.
