Fingertracking2

ART

The freedom to use your fingers in VR.

VRLOGIC's choice for optical finger tracking.

ART’s lightweight solution for hand- and finger tracking

The Fingertracking2 device is an add-on to the ART tracking system, which allows you to track the orientation of the hand and the position of the fingers. It is wireless, works for one as well as for both hands (4 hands with 2 users), and is available in two versions:

  • 5finger pure optical
  • 3finger with tactile feedback

Vibro-tactile Fingertracking2 in industrial applications

ART's vibro-tactile Fingertracking2 allows the integration of the hands of 1-2 persons acting in virtual simulations, with a millimeter accuracy of the finger movement. Also, additional objects (e.g. steering wheel, dashboard, rearview mirror) can be determined and animated with the same accuracy. The vibro-tactile feedback enables the user to feel the vibration at his/her fingertips when touching objects in the virtual world. The system can be used for ergonomics analysis, maintenance simulations, buildability analysis, and other applications that require the interaction of a hand with objects in the virtual space.

      Fingertracking2 Pure

            • Compatibility with high frame rates of ARTTRACK5
            • Various sizes for finger thimbles

            The Fingertracking2 device consists of:

            An active hand target for affixing to the back of the hand. Synchronization is provided with a modulated flash and the low voltage power is provided with a rechargeable battery.

            Three active finger markers, each consisting of an IR LED with diffusing sphere, a fixture for the fingertip, and flexible wires.

            The active markers are time-sequentially addressed and controlled by the active hand target unit.

            The output data consists of:

                        The position and orientation of the back of the hand, the number of tracked fingers, as well as a distinguishing value for right and left hands, position, and orientation of the outermost phalanx, given in the hand coordinate system.

                        Together with a radius, the position and orientation of the fingertip can be estimated. Angles between the single phalanxes as well as their lengths.

                        These values are estimated using tracked markers and empirical data.
