Hello, your decision for new VR gloves looks interesting, but it can be improved too. I have a couple of ideas. One of them: you can replace your method of blocking the thread movement with a more elegant one. Namely: use a stepped motor to lock the spring itself, not thread movement. This will allow you to directly change the length of the thread and block the movement of the fingers. Also, with the help of this, it will be possible to easily recognize the current position of the fingers. In addition, this is a less aggressive method, and even if you overdo it, you will not be able to pull the threads more than you might be able to. In your decision, you can break the motor. You can write to me in a telegram, I will explain in more detail. @JackyLuck

This looks a very interesting project along the lines I had imagined possible, I definitely might consider using something this for my project involving visually impaired - Can you tell me what kind of API is available if I wanted to integrate use of these gloves as controllers in a project I am likely to be using the GODOT platform to develop https://godotengine.org

I have seen your latest update! Awesome idea! But did you thought of using solenoids to block the rotation instead of servo motors? They would work much faster :)

If I were to build these, would there be any way to get a thumbstick on each hand for prototype 3? It didnt look like there was one attached to it in the vid.

What major are you studying ? I hope you can answer me 

I was going to make this but I not only don't have a 3d printer for a lot of these parts, but I am not very good with these kinds of builds, is this planned to be sold?

Hello, I'm here because I would like to know how do you add force Feedback on your gloves. Thanks for your answer

Force Feedback is not publicly available yet. That is part of prototype 4, which has not been released yet.

Using Linear Potentiometers would get rid of a lot of the bulk and require just a small spring per finger to draw it back, gonna try that on my build.

Will oculus quest 2 standalone be supported at some point

I think he may do it but it will probe after he’s done with the gloves with a pc

This is a great project and I will likely build it in the future, but I am not sure about one thing, Is it possible to use HTC Vive controllers or does it only work with the trackers?

Yeah, Vive trackers are compatible

I built one hand so far (For testing) and it works great.  You did an amazing job on this project.  I saw smaller potentiometers (I might try) to see how they work and it might help with the size of the glove overall.

Keep it up with this project.

considered using fiduciary makers like in apriltag instead of the other controllers for tracking?

is it possible to use these with a valve index?

Yes, though I would recommend using vive trackers if you have base stations

Lucas this is AMAZING! cant wait to see how this evolves and i think i'm gonna give it a go at making version 3! super exciting thank you for sharing!

As I am not at all able to build this on my own, I wanted to ask if they will be on sale someday. Thanks in advance.

Let me provided additional information related to this project.
We have already developed same kinds of mechanism haptic glove and published a journal.
Fig.20 on p.22 shows our proposed system.
Susumu Tachi, Yasuyuki Inoue and Fumihiro Kato: TELESAR VI: Telexistence Surrogate Anthropomorphic Robot VI, International Journal of Humanoid Robotics, Vol. 17, No. 5, p.2050019(1-33) (2020.10)
I was also eager to develop not expensive haptic feedback glove. Each motor costs less than 20 USD and light weight. 

Wait, is that 20 usd for the whole glove, or 20 usd per finger?

check this one, it's a different design. meant to provide haptic feedback on the finger when touch a virtual surface. not what you're doing exactly.  https://tachilab.org/content/files/publication/tp/minamizawa200812TVRSJ.pdf

Actually, it is very similar to our project from 2017:
Timo Götzelmann. 2017. A 3D Printable Hand Exoskeleton for the Haptic Exploration of Virtual 3D Scenes. In Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments  - PETRA ’17, 63–66. https://doi.org/10.1145/3056540.3064950

hey i have been trying to make this today howver (after much testing of the firmware communication ports and of the perteniometers them self) i cant seem to get them to work in game. i have been testing with half life alyx but to no provail. i have a quest 2 using a link cable, and i know you said you had started testing on that. is there anything you can recomend? also on your videos on tictok i noticed that you are using a diferent games for testing hand modles, what game is this and is there anyway i could get it?

any help would be great

I'm happy to help, if you have discord send me a DM or join our server. My tag is LucidVR#0001

I was wondering when the instructions to make this awesome project r gonna come out

I was wondering if this supported rift s?

I was just wondering if I needed to use vive trackers. I'm using the Valve index by the way.

Yeah, without vive trackers you'd have to strap Index controllers to your hands, which would sort of defeat the purpose of gloves a little haha
