Prototype 3 of the LucidVR glove. This is a finger tracking glove that allows you to use your hands in VR. Follow along with my developments on this TikTok page:

Currently, the glove is compatible with PCVR headsets through SteamVR.
I've tested the gloves on:
* Oculus Rift CV1
* Will be testing on Oculus Quest 2 (w/link) soon

Instructions and video tutorials for assembling the gloves are coming soon.
WARNING: THIS PROJECT IS STILL VERY EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT AND THINGS WILL BE CHANGING.
Many features may be unstable until they are polished, build at your own risk :P
Roadmap:
Prototype 1 (Unreleased)
- The genesis of this project
- Super bulky and unreliable
Prototype 2 (Unreleased)
- A huge upgrade over prototype 1
- Reduced bulk and more reliable
Prototype 3 (Released)
- First public release
- Much more comfortable and tracking improvements
Prototype 4 (WIP)
- First public Force Feedback prototype
- Addition of haptic servos (already demonstrated on tiktok)
- It Will most likely be very bulky, will reduce bulk in Prototype 5
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
