Gloves for hand motion capture with a silicon sensor that detects expansion and contraction on the Unipos websiteStretchSense Multi-knuckle Splay Glove / Smart Glove Page has been added.

StretchSense Multi-knuckle Splay Glove / Smart Glove is a glove for hand motion capture and VR / AR applications in which the silicon sensor "Stretch Sensors" developed by StretchSense is sewn. The movement of each finger can be transmitted wirelessly to a mobile device with a dedicated app installed.

* Stretch Sensors are high-precision sensors made of silicon that detect the expansion and contraction of themselves.

Multi-knuckle Splay Glove

Gloves that can capture more complex hand movements for VR / AR applications and motion capture.

Equipped with multi-segment splay sensors, it can capture not only the bending of each knuckle but also the lateral spread. Also, because the Stretch Sensors are sewn on the back of the hand, you can recognize the rotation of the palm.

A small circuit on the wrist that can connect up to 16 channels supports SPI, Bluetooth, UART communication protocols, and supports expansion options for integration with inertial sensors, time synchronization modules and SD cards. I will.

Prototyping gloves for hand motion capture applications.

With the Stretch Sensors sewn into the glove, each capture is possible. For the thumb, two sensors are additionally installed to read multi-axis movements.
