    Braided fishing line may be a good alternative if you were looking for a strong but thin "string". Different thicknesses, elasticity, etc are widely available in most places, and you can get it fairly cheap depending where and what it is. May help with the glove's longevity during gameplay.

When I told my parents about my plans to create a full body suit that works as an instrument they laughed at me... everything I suggested I wanted to do with my life they laughed. My real father was murdered when I was 2 so you can't expect real support from a step father. I used to make stuff like this at uni and then when I started making games at home my jealous stepbrother kicked me out of home with a handgun.

      This experience has taught you a very valuable lesson that most people simply do not understand: genius is not born - it's made, in a house, with a supportive family, by schooling or an education system of another kind, even if that's autodidactic learning. Especially if it's autodidactic learning.
      But don't despair, the ways you've found around the particular problems you've faced make you unique. Your particular skill set and the way you approach problems won't be like those of so many people for whom everything went the right way. You learn more off the path, even if it takes longer, and find things others haven't found.
      You seem pretty uniquely ingenious to me.
      Maybe take up sketching or writing as a hobby (if you haven't already). They're good for practically everything.

If a VR game right now had haptic feedback systems it would be a complete waste of effort since no-one owns a haptic glove, but if a cheap haptic glove was released not only would it make mainstream VR more immersive (the main bloody thing VR actually has going for it) but it would also mean companies could reasonably design for haptic feedback. Not to mention, not every game uses those drivers to begin with specifically because it isn't needed since most VR tech uses controllers right now.

So not only are you assuming every game uses a specific set of drivers, which they dont, but you are also assuming those drivers even have the functionality to utilize haptic feedback, which I do not believe they do, AND you are assuming that even if the drivers DID have that capability the games programmed their objects with good haptic feedback, which I know for a fact, they wouldn't have. You're ALSO ignoring the fact that game design is more important than drivers used, and as of yet virtually every VR game there is use controller based design philosophies specifically because, say it with me now, no-one owns bloody haptic gloves.

Of course, everyone working there -- to provide you with awesome new tech (like the processors in your phone and computer, or the newest VR headset) -- needs to feed their family. That means the corporation must now ask for money. Why go for profit instead of break-even? Because then, in the future, they have more resources to build you, the average consumer, even better products. Charity doesn't make the world go round :/

      @@crumbskull Hes not going to get it though, if Oculus or Vive did get wind of what he was doing, theyd probably rip the design more or less say they had "inspiration" from him and charge £300 for a pair. Or maybe im being way more cinical and itll all be fine and daisies

      @@scoutbite4334 they most certainly do have wind of this. and they're in their full right to take inspiration from this guy's design unless he gets a legal patent. if he can do it better, he will and since it's free then vive or oculus would have wasted tons of money. being cynical doesn't mean being smart.

      @@scoutbite4334 Well, the whole point of doing it this way is getting the same thing those big companies sell for less money and cheaper materials. Those big companies could take "inspiration" from the design and sell new gloves, but unless those gloves are just as cheap, it wouldn't make as much of a difference. People will still want cheap gloves, because not everyone will want to dump £300 for VR gloves.
