P14546 Problem Statement  Virtual Reality is used to simulate 3D environments using multiple cameras, sensors, and immersive displays  Most people know it from video games but it can be used for research applications Relate eye movements to their corresponding body movements Training in specialized tasks Healthcare  Current techniques use markers in combination with cameras to track hand motion  In some positions, markers are occluded from optical view, resulting in missing data points  The objective of this project is to create a glove that collects data aquired from the hand’s movements without the use of motion cameras

Project Deliverables  The project will focus on providing a functional prototype that is lightweight, durable, and relatively inexpensive  The glove will not interfere with user’s natural hand movements  Sensors transmit motion data to the computer for analysis  Instruction manual for repairs and operation of the glove

Desired State

Stakeholder(s)  Primary Customer: Gabriel Diaz Contact:  Secondary Customer: Susan Farnard Contact:  Faculty Guide: Ed Hanzlik Contact:  Sponsor (financial support): RIT

Matrix

Scenarios for use of VRDG  The virtual reality data glove will be used for scenarios such as… Grabbing Catching Hitting Etc…

Benchmarking  CyberGlove II and III Wirelessly interfaces with computer Three flexion sensors per finger Wireless USB interface Motion tracking marker mounting point Active palm arch sensor MicroSD Card interface

Benchmarking  Soft Curvature sensors Uses a soft film with conductive liquid channels More natural movement but not as accurate as classic rigid sensors Outside the scope of the project ○ Very new technology ○ References numerous related papers
