Neat, I'd happily tinker with one but that's quite a demanding setup. From what I can tell from ManusVR and similar haptic devices there is no consumer driven cost dropping curve, unlike screen resolution thanks to mobile phones, that allow these to benefit from the same miniaturization and democratization as other things (screen, CPU/GPU, IMUs and other sensors). Maybe some MEMS breakthrough will enable cheap high resolution haptics but for now it remains bulky and expensive.
