The purpose of this study is development of a passive type virtual reality glove, which represents force sensations of grasping virtual objects and rather enhances immersive feelings in virtual space. VR technologies are recently actively researched for application or practical use, and actually some sensor gloves were commercialized. Though, force display gloves have not become popular. One of the major reasons would be safety of the device. We aim to develop a passive force display glove which consists of only passive elements like brakes, have no danger of hurting operator even if the controller runs away, and is to have characteristics of safety, high performance and inexpensive. This paper reports the prototype glove and its improved type.
