SenseGlove is a Delft based startup that develops tools for Virtual Reality. At SenseGlove we see virtual and augmented reality as enabler an for real world applications. Our believe is that providing interactions with objects and persons equal to those in the real world is the only way to fully utilise the potential of VR and AR. That is why we are creating the SenseGlove; The SenseGlove provides the most natural interaction in virtual and augmented reality. With the SenseGlove virtual objects are brought to live, you can feel, touch and interact with them as if they are real.
The Sense Glove is an exoskeleton glove that enables touch in Virtual Reality. The Glove is originally developed as a medical device for hand rehabilitation. By measuring 16 degrees of freedom of the hand it accurately tracks the movement. Small servomotors will restrict the motion of your hand when a virtual object is touched. The exoskeleton can be kept as small as possible due to the Z linkages that fold inward, all natural movements of the hand can be performed when the glove is worn.
