Abstract :
In this paper the design and construction of a novel wireless Dataglove based on new flexible goniometric sensor technology is described. The device is characterized by a low cost and rugged construction and no requires calibration before its use. Indeed, the sensors used are purely goniometric, so they are not sensible to dimensions of the user´s hand. The Dataglove can measure the angular displacement of the fingers hand using 11 sensors, each sensor has a resolution of 0.2 degrees, with 3 degree of accuracy in the worst case. The communication between the Dataglove and its computer Host is carried out using a 2,4 gigahertz wireless Bluetooth radio protocol, in a guaranteed range up to 10 meters with a refresh rate of 100 Hz.
