Cost-Effective Data Glove and Mechanical Hand For the Analysis and Simulation of Finger Movements

The present work introduces a modern cost-effective data glove prototype designed for versatility, particularly in the fields of virtual reality, remote control or medical rehabilitation. Using an array of flex sensors, the glove measures finger flexion and extension angles in real-time. Data is processed through a microcontroller, translating sensor readings into accurate angular measurements, while Bluetooth communication ensures low-latency and stable transmission. A Butterworth filter is applied to minimize noise. The presented device shows potential for further improvements through automatic calibration and user-specific customization.
