3. • VR Gloves are a type of virtual reality input
device that allows users to interact with their
environment in a more natural and intuitive
way.
• The gloves are equipped with sensors that
track the user's hand movements and translate
them into digital commands.
• They also have haptic feedback technology.

4. • To determine circuit diagram parameters and construct micro-controller integrated
haptics module.
• Check the compatibility of the gloves with VR environment.
• To model a finger tracking system that will work with any game compatible with Valve
Index Controller .
• To caliberate VR gloves haptic response with required drivers
OBJECTIVES
5. Hardware design involved a haptic module ,which was 3D printed.
Haptic Module: Glove Model
DESIGN
METHODOLOGY
6. 4/3/2024 6
Hardware design:
• When a person grasps an object, there is a downward pressure on the object , and at
the same time the contact receptors on the hand feel the reaction force of the grasped
object.
• Which is equivalent to a mechanical stimulus such as touch or pressure, and the signal
is transmitted to the nerve center through the nerve, and the human brain sends a
haptic signal, transmitting haptic feedback to the reactor on the hand, and we perceive
the sense of touch.
• The haptic glove in this paper is the same, when the user grasps the three dimensional
virtual objects built by the computer, the use of the glove on the rotation of the servo
brought about by the vibration as a manual grasp of the virtual object interaction force,
so as to achieve the effect of haptic feedback.

Engineering Design Specifications
10. • The working principle of VR gloves involves capturing and translating the movements of
the wearer's hands into corresponding actions within a virtual environment, providing a
more immersive and interactive VR experience
• Once the hand movements are captured, the data is transmitted to a computer or VR
system, which then translates the data into corresponding movements within the virtual
environment this allows the user to interact with virtual objects or environments
• Major components that will be used here are potentiometer ,microcontroller and servo
motors.
WORKING
PRINCIPLE
11. • ISO 9241-411 - This standard provides guidelines for designing haptic interfaces, including gloves.
It covers aspects such as ergonomics, sensory feedback, and user performance.
• IEEE 1858 - This standard defines a standard interface for haptic devices, including gloves. It
specifies how the device should communicate with software, how it should provide feedback to the
user, and how it should be calibrated.
• ASTM F2812 - This standard provides guidelines for testing haptic devices, including gloves. It
covers aspects such as accuracy, repeatability, and reliability.
