This planned controller aims to bring realistic gun haptics to VR

pcgamer.com:

With VR rocketing along into the mainstream it's hard to not think of it as a potential future mainstay for gaming. It's getting better(opens in new tab) with great immersive screens like Pimax's 8k headsets that recently received a 120Hz upgrade(opens in new tab). Or easier, with portable units like the popular Oculus Quest 2(opens in new tab). But more importantly, VR is getting much, much realer.

Advanced graphics and immersion are one thing, but haptics are really starting to level up too. Scientists and researchers have been working on all sorts of weird things like chemical haptics(opens in new tab) and even mouth spider haptics(opens in new tab). While these sure do sound interesting, they're potentially quite niche and a way off. 

Tom Man Design(opens in new tab) (spotted by Yanko Design(opens in new tab)) has something a bit more practical in mind with a realistic force feedback gun controller made specifically for FPS. Given FPS games are fairly popular, unlike those spiders in your mouth games, these controllers look like a sensible addition that could add a tone of immersion to your typical VR experience.

The ViR controller has a sleek gun shaped design which reminds me a bit of a futuristic dust buster, which Man has also worked on. Its goal is to be ergonomic and attractive, without looking too much like a weapon sitting around your house and from the pictures it looks to achieve this. The haptics were partially inspired by Sony's impressive PlayStation 5 controller, which can also be used on PC(opens in new tab).
