Dexmo : un exosquelette à main pour les mondes virtuels

Dexmo : un exosquelette à main pour les mondes virtuels Laissez tomber les gants pour réalité virtuelle. Le vrai « next big thing » dans ce domaine, c’est l’exosquelette pour la main ! Le constructeur chinois Dexta Robotics fait appel à Kickstarter pour financer la production d’un tel appareil qui sera commercialisé à bas coût. Dexta a mis au point un exosquelette à utiliser sur la main, le Dexmo. Dans les domaines de la robotique, ce gadget peut servir à contrôler des mains et des bras de robots, et pourquoi pas, aider à désamorcer une bombe à distance. Deux versions sont proposées (la V2 est le modèle haptique), à partir de 65$.

Dexmo Is a Robotic Glove That Will Let You Touch Virtual Reality In our weekly series we try and highlight the coolest and most impressive new projects that you can back on crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Not every new project has the potential to be the next Pebble smartwatch or Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, but there are some genuinely interesting ideas that you can back. This week, we came across the Kickstarter for Dexmo - an "exoskeleton" that lets you touch the digital world. As pointed out by the company behind the project, there are already force feedback devices available, but none that give you a realistic feeling while also being affordably priced. The Dexmo does more than just offer force feedback though - it also includes sensors that can accurately track your finger and thumb movements and the orientation of your palm - this can be used to control virtual reality, similar to how Leap motion has integrated its controller with the Rift. You can see a more detailed explanation in the video below:

Latest Dexmo Input Glove Features Positional Tracking with Full Finger Input, Claims 5ms Latency - Road to VR Dexta Robotics, a technology company with presence in the US, China and the UK, has announced the latest iteration of its Dexmo input glove. A new video released demonstrates some of the glove’s capabilities, as a user is shown manipulating blocks in a virtual environment powered by an Oculus Rift headset. The video, which shows a man moving blocks to spell out ‘Hi!’ and ‘Nĭ hăo,’ claims the gloves offer hand motion tracking and 60fps optical tracking with a latency of less than five milliseconds. The device is shown to offer full finger input, meaning it tracks movements and gestures from all five fingers independently. The company has quickly progressed from its earlier F2 prototype, featuring ‘digital force feedback’ on the thumb and index finger – to their current prototype, the F5, featuring full 5 digit force feedback. Dexta Robotics launched, and subsequently cancelled, a Kickstarter for Dexmo in October and November of 2014.
