Rehabilitation of stroke survivors can be expedited by employing an exoskeleton. The exercises are designed such that both hands move in synergy. In this regard, often, motion capture data from the healthy hand is used to derive control behavior for Therefore, gloves provide a low-cost solution joints hand. However, current bulky, inaccurate, or inconsistent. These disadvantages inherited becau...

We describe a new method for data glove calibration that uses computer vision techniques to create a filter for individual customization of input obtained from the glove. Our major observation is that it is possible to create a linear correlation between the hand posture reported by the data glove and the observed posture of the hand itself. We use a feature-based computer vision system indepen...

with increasing use of robots instead of human in industrial, medicine and military applications etc.the importance of research on designing and building of robots is increasing. in this paper variousmethods of the human hand motion simulation has been investigated and we used one of most commonmethod named data-gloves which extract data from hand and then we simulated hand motion duringseveral...

In this paper the evaluation of effectivenes of instrumented glove in measurement of hand opening and preshaping during reach-to-grasp movement is described. In the experiment presented in this work the reach-to-grasp movement of one healthy subject was measured by two different types of motion-tracking devices (3D optical system, Optotrak, and commercial instrumented glove, 14 sensors Ultra Da...

introduction: gloves protect the dental healthcare worker from direct contact with microorganisms in the patient's mouth and on dental setting surfaces; they also protect the patient from potential pathogens on the hands of the clinicians. this study was performed to evaluate the permeability of three types of examination latex gloves after treatment of patients in pediatric department of mashh...

In this paper, we introduce 3D motion rendering system based on a data glove. Our glove measures the movement of fingers by using flex sensors. Integrated FPGA gathers the data from sensors and performs pre-processing of the sensor data. The acquired data are forwarded to PC through Bluetooth communication and an application program displays the gesture. Keywords-Ueser Experience, Wearable Devi...

The design and adaptation of a haptic data glove based on the Tekscan grip sensor 4255N is introduced in this paper with detailed discussion on sensor selection, implementation, and calibration issues. The gloves are used in experiments to measure human to human haptic interaction. Data analysis methods and initial results are illustrated. Evaluation results show that the pressure sensor based ...

One challenge of wearable computing is the design and use of interaction devices for wearable applications that are accepted by users. In our previous work, the Winspect [1] project, a wearable system for crane maintenance was constructed that used a multitude of cable connections to attach a data glove interaction device, an external battery pack, ultrasound emitters and receivers, a RFID scan...

BACKGROUND The invasive nature of surgery, with its increased exposure to blood, means that during surgery there is a high risk of transfer of pathogens. Pathogens can be transferred through contact between surgical patients and the surgical team, resulting in post-operative or blood borne infections in patients or blood borne infections in the surgical team. Both patients and the surgical team...
