Development of haptic gloves with vibration feedback as a tool for manipulation in virtual reality based on bend sensors and absolute orientation sensors

Abstract

In the article, the existing developments of haptic gloves were considered, an analysis of scientific publications on this topic, which showed a variety of technical solutions. The main problems of the study area are indicated and two methods for the implementation of haptic gloves, which have a lower cost in comparison with analogues, are proposed. The first method uses nine axial sensors of absolute orientation, which allow to accurately determine the position of the joint in space, and the second method uses bend sensors, which are easier to use but less accurate. To implement the haptic gloves, software was developed, a model was created in the Unity cross-platform development environment
