 5DT Data Glove 16/16-W







The 5DT Data Glove with 16 senors
(2 per finger + abduction).

 

Components

The 5DT Data Glove 16 measures finger flexure  (2 sensors per finger) as well as the abduction between fingers. The system interfaces with the computer via a cable to the serial port (RS 232 - platform independent). It features an autocalibration function, 8-bit flexure and abduction resolution, extreme comfort, low drift and an open architecture. The 5DT Data Glove 16-W is the wireless  (untethered) version of the 5DT Data Glove 16. The system interfaces with the computer via a radio link (up to 20m distance) on the serial port (RS 232). Right- and left-handed models are available. One size fits many (stretch lycra). A USB adapter is available.
