Virtual Reality gets enhanced with ThermoReal Technology for sensing temperature changes, chills, and pain sensations.
In the rapidly evolving world of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), a Korean company named TEGway is making waves with its innovative technology, ThermoReal. This thermoelectric device is designed to revolutionise the way we experience VR, AR, and gaming by simulating the environment's temperature, thereby enhancing immersion.
ThermoReal operates on the principle of the Seebeck effect, converting temperature differences into electrical energy. This technology allows the device to heat up or cool down the user based on the game's conditions, providing an unprecedented level of realism.
The flexibility of ThermoReal's thermal modules enables it to adapt to the complex shapes required for VR/AR and gaming applications. This adaptability makes it compatible with various VR and AR devices, though specific models are yet to be detailed.
TEGway, the developer behind ThermoReal, is a company focused on creating technologies to enhance gaming and immersive experiences. With ThermoReal, they aim to simulate a wider range of physical sensations, thereby making VR/AR and gaming experiences more realistic.
The new ThermoReal device has been improved using BiTe-based materials, which are known for their high performance and flexibility. Contrasting conventional thermoelectric devices, ThermoReal is slim and efficient, eliminating heat loss and offering improved performance in capturing heat.
ThermoReal's capabilities extend beyond temperature simulation, as it can simulate both heat and cold sensations on different areas of the same surface simultaneously. Moreover, the device can function in reverse, creating a heat flow between layers of materials when an electric current is applied.
ThermoReal is a significant leap forward in the field of thermoelectric technology, being the world's first "Stand-Alone", high-performance, and flexible thermoelectric (TE) device. It can be integrated into various devices like console controllers, joysticks, haptic suits, and more, to enhance the virtual experience.
TEGway's ambitions for ThermoReal go beyond VR/AR and gaming. They aim to market ThermoReal for use in immersive VR/AR and gaming experiences, as well as for powering wearable sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Field-proven applications using this type of technology confirm TEGway's ThermoReal to be the most efficient material to date. As we move forward, ThermoReal promises to redefine the boundaries of immersive experiences, making virtual worlds feel more real than ever before.
Science and technology have reached new heights with TEGway's innovative ThermoReal, a pioneering thermoelectric device in the field of roboics, that uses BiTe-based materials to simulate temperature and heat/cold sensations on various surfaces, offering an unprecedented level of realism in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and gaming experiences. This groundbreaking technology is not just limited to these applications, as TEGway intends to market ThermoReal for powering wearable sensors and IoT devices, pushing the boundaries of immersion and redefining the future of science and technology.
