Diver-X announces new glove-type VR controller “ContactGlove3”! Achieves positional error of 1.5mm or less.

Diver-X announced the “ContactGlove3,” a glove-type VR controller, on June 23, 2026. Pre-orders began on the same day, and the price is 99,800 yen (including tax). Shipping is scheduled for October 2026.

The ContactGlove3 is a glove-type device that employs electromagnetic field (EMF) tracking. It independently tracks the fingertips and joints of each of the five fingers with 6DoF, achieving a positional error of 1.5mm or less under the company’s recommended environment. The update rate is up to 100Hz and the latency is 30ms. Delicate hand movements such as clasping fingers, making a heart shape with both hands, playing musical instruments, and sign language can be directly reflected in the avatar.

A key feature is its ability to reproduce movements that were difficult to achieve with conventional bending sensor methods. It also incorporates a haptic reactor for tactile feedback, adding a realistic feel to interactions in virtual spaces.

This product includes the “Magnetra3” exoskeleton-type controller module. It features standard-sized sticks, triggers, and buttons, allowing for operation similar to a typical VR controller. The newly added “grip lock button” ensures reliable grasping, holding, and throwing actions regardless of hand position. The Magnetra3 can be removed, allowing for use as a standalone glove, offering versatility for various applications.


The fit and durability have also been redesigned. The design exposes the first joint, allowing for keyboard operation while wearing them. The fabric portion is washable and replaceable, and a special cap for high-precision tracking is used on the thumb. Available in four sizes: S, M, L, and XL. The 1200mAh battery provides 8-10 hours of continuous use, and charging is via USB Type-C. Wireless connectivity is achieved via the included dedicated dongle, achieving a low latency of 30ms.

The supported platform is SteamVR, and it is compatible with VRChat, Resonite, and all SteamVR applications. Sales are available through the official Diver-X store.
