What are Haptic Gloves?

Data glove is a multi-mode virtual reality hardware. It can be used to capture, move, and rotate objects in a virtual scene through software programming. It can also use its multi-modality as a tool to control scene roam . The emergence of data gloves has provided a new interactive means for virtual reality systems. Current products have been able to detect the bending of fingers and use magnetic positioning sensors to accurately locate the position of the hand in three-dimensional space. This kind of data glove combining finger bending test and spatial positioning test is called "real glove", which can provide users with a very real and natural three-dimensional interaction method.

Data gloves are the most commonly used interactive tool in virtual simulation.

The data glove is provided with a bending sensor. The bending sensor is composed of a flexible circuit board, a force-sensitive element, and an elastic packaging material, and is connected to the signal processing circuit through a wire. At least two wires are provided on the flexible circuit board, and the force-sensitive material is coated on the Most of the flexible circuit board is covered with a layer of elastic packaging material on the force-sensitive material. One end of the flexible circuit board is left out, and the wire is connected to the external circuit. The human hand posture is accurately and real-time transmitted to the virtual environment, and the contact information with the virtual object can be fed back to the operator. Allows the operator to interact with the virtual world in a more direct, natural, and effective manner, greatly enhancing the interactivity and immersion. It also provides a universal and direct human-computer interaction mode for operators, which is especially suitable for virtual reality systems that require multi-degree-of-freedom hand models to perform complex operations on virtual objects.

The data glove itself does not provide information about spatial location and must be used in conjunction with a location tracking device.
