Fundamental XR launches Fundamental Touch for wireless haptics - The Robot Report

Fundamental XR has launched Fundamental Touch, a wireless haptics platform designed to deliver precise, untethered tactile feedback across multiple industries beyond healthcare, including robotics, industrial training, automotive, aerospace, retail, and gaming. This new software removes the traditional physical tether required by high-fidelity kinesthetic haptic devices, enabling greater user mobility and performance parity. Built on a client-server architecture, Fundamental Touch decouples haptic simulations from visual rendering and user interfaces, allowing sub-100ms latency and scalable, real-time force feedback via a peer-to-peer network layer. The system supports various output devices such as XR headsets (e.g., Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest), robotic platforms (e.g., Boston Dynamics’ Spot), and gaming peripherals. Fundamental XR, formerly FundamentalVR, has a strong track record in healthcare, where its immersive technologies have reduced onboarding time by over 60%, improved surgical accuracy by 44%, and increased sales performance by 22%.
