TactileGlove - Hand Pressure and Force Measurement
The PPS TactileGloves are tactile pressure sensor gloves with embedded sensing elements throughout the palm and fingers, allowing for natural and accurate testing of pressures applied to and exerted by the hand. Nearly any hand operation can be measured accurately through the 65 individual highly sensitive sensing elements within each glove.
Our TactileGloves are wireless and battery powered. This is the only glove sensor on the market that both allows for full range of motion and creates an organic testing environment. High-resolution pressure sensing and mapping enables you to research hand movements when performing various tasks, and analyze comfort, and ergonomics through visual feedback of hand interactions.

User friendly, comfortable to wear and no adhesives or wires to get in your way
고분해능의 민감한 센서로 최저 압력 (0.1oz / 3 g)도 감지.
Meant to handle the real world. It's wireless and battery powered.
Delivered in pairs (Left + Right). Available glove size: small, medium, and large. See: sizing chart
제품 설명
The TactileGlove provides a sharp improvement in sensor measurement involving human hand and finger movements. Both simple and complex hand operations can be measured accurately and dynamically through multiple high-resolution small sensor arrays. Sixty-five sensor elements across the hand, fingers, and palm, embedded within a wireless glove allows for reliable and repeatable pressure distribution measurement.
High-resolution pressure sensing and hand mapping has versatile applications. It enables you to research and develop human movements, comfort, and ergonomics through visual feedback of hand interactions. The accompanying Chameleon Software captures and records live data to provide both numeric and image representation of pressures on the hand.

자주 묻는 질문
1. TactileGlove가 감지할 수 있는 최소 힘 감도와 질량은 얼마인가?
The minimum force that each individual force sensing glove fingertip element (38 mm²) can detect is 0.04 N.
2. TactileGlove는 방수가 되나요?
No, the TactileGlove is not waterproof. However, a custom skin can be added at extra cost.
3. TactileGlove가 다양한 손 크기와 모양을 수용 할 수 있도록 늘어나나요?
The four glove sizes are carefully designed to cover natural hand sizes across a broad spectrum. Please choose the correct size based on your hand dimensions.
4. TactileGlove는 압력이나 힘을 측정합니까?
The TactileGlove is calibrated in units of pressure (i.e., psi or N/cm²). Force values are calculated using the known area of each sensor element.
5. TactileGlove가 빠른 충격 부하을 감지 할 수 있습니까?
충격 어플리케이션에 TactileGlove를 사용하는 것을 추천하지 않습니다.
6. How often does the TactileGlove require calibration?
The capacitive based sensing modality of PPS sensors results in an extremely stable sensor with superior reliability and repeatability. With proper use and care, the TactileGlove should retain its calibration for years.
