Virtex CyberGlove
The CyberGlove from
Virtual Technologies
is a commercial product
based on the instrumented glove device developed in the
TalkingGlove
project of the
Center for Design Research
(CDR) at
Stanford University.
The system consists of a glove (right or left)
outfitted with electronic joint-angle sensors (18 or 22 8-bit gauges),
an instrumentation unit,
host computer driver software, and virtual hand control software.
Fully configured and coupled with an electro-magnetic position tracker,
the system repeatably tracks 28 degrees of freedom per hand/wrist
at upto 120 Hz.
The virtual hand control technology,
developed at CDR in the
VirtualHand project,
maps the CyberGlove's raw sensor values
to hand geometry for anthropometric, dexterous control.
