Dexmo: An Inexpensive and Lightweight Mechanical Exoskeleton for Motion Capture and Force ...
summary
Mechanical exoskeleton glove uses rotational sensors, ratchet wheels and a stopping slider to lock joints in place and deliver passive force feedback to a VR hand, tracks MCP joints and regresses DIP/PIP, interfaces with Unity, runs ~4 hours on a phone battery and weighs about 270 g. A 20‑participant archery study shows error rate falls from 61% to 44% (statistically significant). Device is inexpensive to manufacture and aims for mass production.
