This could still pose problems to expand the professional vision game offers – it is difficult to imagine how much Batman: Arkham Shadow or shooters like Arizona Sunshine II function without these types of entries.
However, the patent suggests that “the portable input device may include a haptic output device to provide the user with haptic output”, and haptics – vibration – you can significantly improve the VR gameplay.

The game Synthety Cavaliers is an excellent example of this. Developed by Kluge Interactive and available on Apple Vision Pro and VR platforms focused on more conventional game, it is a title of rhythmic action, similar to tastes Saber. Orbs representing musical rhythms fly to the player, who must correspond to the position of orbs with their hands, to strike individual notes or to follow arc trails.
On platforms such as Quest or PlayStation VR, the haptics of the controllers subtly subtly when you catch each beat and vibrate gently when you draw the rails, this feeling of feedback tells you instantly when you have hit or missed a beat. This helps you assess where to position your hands and how to move your arms in the game space.
On Apple Vision Pro, your hands slide intact in the air, followed only by external helmet sensors, no touch response to guide your performance. Consequently, the same game seems much less precise and more difficult to play – in the experience of this writer – on Apple’s equipment. Haptic controllers could help to mitigate this, even if they would not allow Batman to play with his belt of public services.
Some game creators are perfectly happy without controllers on Apple Vision Pro, especially Andrew Eiche, CEO of developer Owl laboratories. The studio is one of the longest VR developers – its breakthrough title Job simulator was the first game announced for Steamvr a decade ago, and has since been brought to everything, from HTC Vive to PSVR 2 and, in May 2024, The Vision Pro.
Located in the future where robots have replaced all the work, the game sees the players recreate the trivial jobs of the present, generally with comic effect. Even on platforms with controllers, Job simulator The gameplay is centered on the player interacting with objects around offices or kitchens using virtualized hands, so it was a natural adjustment for pro vision.
“Right now, it seems that the industry is” restrained “by not inclining the controllers, but I maintain that this is a necessary growth stage,” Eiche told Wired. “I would like to see VR – or XR, MR, space, immersive, no matter what we call it – the dominant current.”
“Hand follow -up is accessible to almost everyone. It is something natural that you don’t have to take a look from a helmet to remind you of what” B ‘”, adds Eiche.” This does not mean that the controllers should be eliminated. I think [they’ll be] similar to [how] Smartphone controllers are an additional module for power users who want this specific specific control with discreet inputs. “”
