Expert opinion: we tested interaction gloves for you

- Categories :

Within the framework of the MIC (Microgesture Interaction in Context) research project co-financed by the ANR (French National Research Agency), an expert from the Immersion team tested several interaction gloves in order to evaluate their respective added values for the design of microgestures.

Three of them caught the attention of our experts.

Discover them in video at the bottom of the article.

The TouchDIVER glove by Weart 

Weart is a company founded in 2018, specialising in the development of a revolutionary touch scanning technology. With this innovation, users can enrich their virtual/augmented reality or multimedia experiences.

The TouchDRIVER haptic glove is unique. Its innovative and aesthetic design sets it apart from its competitors. If you are looking for a unique sensory experience, the TouchDRIVER glove is there to provide you with unprecedented tactile sensations.

For the MIC research project, we had the pleasure of testing this VR glove.

Here are the three main advantages we found:

  • Force, texture and temperature feedback,
  • Finger and hand tracking,
  • Amazing design, with its case and three fingers.

Quantum Metagloves by MANUS

MANUS, founded in 2014, is dedicated to the research and development of innovative solutions for an unparalleled immersive VR experience. Their latest breakthrough is Quantum technology. This creates an accurate hand skeleton by automatically calibrating the size of your hand. Quantum Tracking sensors send finger data to the software, which creates an accurate digital copy of the user's hand.

With the precision and responsiveness of the Quantum Metagloves, you'll be able to interact naturally with virtual environments and manipulate virtual objects with ease. This glove is designed to push the limits of high-fidelity tracking in VR, providing a highly dynamic immersive experience.

Here are the three main strengths we identified for this product:

  • High-fidelity tracking with millimetre-level accuracy,
  • Quick and easy calibration,
  • Capable of tracking the most complex movements.

The MoCap Pro SuperSlay glove by StretchSense 

StretchSense is a company specialising in the development of advanced motion capture technologies. Since their inception in 2012, they have been committed to pushing the boundaries of gesture recognition by providing accurate and high performance motion capture solutions.

The MoCap Pro Superslay motion capture glove delivers exceptional performance through its machine learning algorithm. It accurately captures the most subtle poses of your hands and fingers and records them for precise recognition. Bring your ideas to life with stunning realism.

The three main features of this glove are:

  • Unique technology with stretch sensors,
  • Precise calibration for many complex poses,
  • Capture all the nuances of movement with unparalleled fidelity.

What are the benefits for the MIC research project?

The MIC (Microgesture Interaction in Context) project is an ANR research project dedicated to micro-gestures for human-machine interaction, one of the objectives of which is to exploit the potential of MIC for uses related to AR/VR.  It is in this context that the tests of several interaction gloves on the market were relevant

Here is the main asset of each glove that we retained in the context of the MIC project:

  • TouchDIVER: multimodality,
  • Quantum Metagloves: spatial tracking,
  • The MoCap Pro SuperSlay: pose recognition.
