Virtual Reality

Sharp is developing a VR haptic glove to enhance virtual reality immersion by simulating tactile feedback and textures. The prototype, expected to cost around $760 USD, uses independent vibration modules on each fingertip. These modules aim to replicate the sensation of touching various materials. However, Sharp cautions that the project is in early stages and may face potential setbacks, including possible discontinuation of development and related products.

Uplift Aerospace (OTC: NRPI) launched an EdTech Division to develop VR and AI-driven learning modules for K-12 STEM education and workforce training. Pilots in Salt Lake City schools show improved engagement: 63% of students increased STEM career awareness, 52% showed stronger interest in technical fields, and 43% expressed heightened computer science curiosity. The division aims to scale immersive, cost-effective solutions across Utah, Colorado, and California, addressing skills gaps while building proprietary assets in competitive EdTech markets.
