Stretch-Sensing Gloves, which are jointly researched by Zurich Institute of Technology and New York University, are gloves using elastic sensors. These gloves are the same thickness and light as ordinary gloves. It is 1.25mm thick and has two layers of flexible silicon-based circuits attached.
In this study, only the movement under the wrist is read, but accurate capture is possible in near real time. Motion capture of camera movement depends on the angle and contrast, but with this product, there is no need to worry about that. Moreover, one of the advantages is that it can be made only with parts available in the laboratory.
According to the description, the location information can be reconstructed through the sensor included in the glove, learned with a neural network architecture, and calibrated simultaneously with use. It is said to have achieved a 35% improvement in reconstruction accuracy compared to commercially available sensored gloves.
For example, movie and game VFX are diverse, but if they have a sensor built in like this glove, you can directly enter motion data without needing to use a camera to track markers. In addition to virtual reality content and games, there is ample potential to spread in various fields such as robot control and surgery. Related information can be found here .
