In-development vibrating VR glove wants you to be able to give your anime favorite all the head pats she could ever want

If there’s anything my sordid past spent reporting on console games has taught me, it’s that haptic feedback is pretty neat. Sharp Corporation appears to agree with me, announcing a glove-shaped solution for bringing similar tactile feedback to PC gaming and virtual reality. Though not every PlayStation 5 game leverages the DualSense’s haptic capabilities, the…

Nvidia says it’s game over come October for GTX 10, 9 and 7-series graphics cards driver support but RTX owners running Windows 10 are getting an extra year of grace
