Abstract

Smart gloves are wearable interfaces which provide detection of movements and gestures, kinesthetic, and even tactile feedback. These capabilities are important for immersive applications as it can bring more realistic features. The presented paper shows a concept of a working in progress application of a smart glove. The proposed hardware uses resistive flexible and electromagnets sensors to provide tactile and haptic feedback to be used in immersive applications such as the ones that use Virtual Reality (VR). The project will be done in a way that can provide user-centric requirement such as: the glove must be lightweight, comfortable, adjustable to different hands and finger shapes, and low cost to be manufactured. The intend is to use this glove as part of a biggest framework and immersive application.
