Exactly what I was attempting too say Trillian (sorry peeps I sometimes get carried away with the science side!!!), as for your arms feeling that pressure, well as your nerve impulses run from your fingertips through your arms then you will still get a sensation of force being applied, your muscles contract because of an electrical response from your brain.
The same prinicple is used too work muscle pads, short electric pulses are sent directly to the muscle which causes it too flex independently of your brain, but these pads give off a higher current than these gloves, as your fingertips are helluva lot more sensitive and don’t require much stimulation for your brain to register a response.
An exoskeleton simply is not required here as you will not move to an oject, it will move to you, but the same applies to your feet, if pads were applied to your feet you could essentially move in VR without your legs being in motion, however legs are more difficult as keeping your balance would be tricky too acheive.
