An innovative approach to VR haptic gloves
MAX78000 Feather Board

The AI-enhanced haptic VR gloves are designed to precisely sense intentional hand and finger movements and deliver a highly immersive virtual reality experience by combining sophisticated gesture recognition with dynamic tactile feedback. Using nichrome wire sensors and applying a low reference voltage ensures safety while minimizing overheating. The gloves will support multiple distinct hand gestures, with specific meanings assigned to various hand states and individual fingers, providing an immersive and interactive VR experience.

The AI system will be programmed to recognize and differentiate between these hand gestures, including:
Relaxed Hand: Represents a neutral or null state.
Stressed Hand: Indicates a specific function or command.
Closed Hand: Associated with another distinct function or action.
Each finger will have specific meanings based on its position and movement, enhancing the precision and range of interactions. AI algorithms will filter out unintended or minor movements to ensure accurate gesture recognition and response.

The gloves use an electromagnetic brake mechanism with a toothed wire design for tactile feedback. AI dynamically adjusts feedback intensity based on the recognized gestures and user interactions within the VR environment.

Advantages:
Comprehensive Gesture Set: Supports multiple distinct gestures, including various hand states and individual finger movements.
Accurate and Responsive: AI ensures precise gesture recognition and adaptive feedback, improving user interaction and experience.
Compact and Cost-Effective: Miniaturized sensors and efficient AI processing reduce costs while maintaining performance.

Expected Outcomes:
Enhanced VR interactions with over 60 recognizable hand gestures and specific meanings for different hand states and finger movements.
Realistic and adaptive tactile feedback using an electromagnet-based mechanism.
Affordable and compact gloves designed for immersive and interactive VR experiences.

Applications:
VR gaming and simulations with detailed hand interactions and gesture-based controls.
Professional training and simulations where precise hand gestures are crucial.
Haptic feedback systems for robotics and other applications requiring detailed hand control.

Future Enhancements:
Expansion of gesture recognition to include more complex or nuanced hand movements.
Continued optimization for power efficiency and further reduction in sensor size.
