The future! It's here, and it's brought virtual reality handshakes with Hatsune Miku. Aren't you happy to be alive in 2013?
YouTube user Netkick recently showed off a Oculus Rift tech demo which uses the Novint Falcon pistol peripheral and a rubber hand.
As shown in the video below, you can shake hands with virtual reality Miku.
Surely, this tech will only be used with greetings—just greetings. I cannot see it being used for anything else, really.
