The concept of fine motor skills development of preschool children using haptic gloves

Abstract

The fine motor skills development of preschool children is an important factor in creative, verbal, and cogitative development. The modern development of information and robotic technologies allows the use of virtual reality in conjunction with haptic gloves for the development of fine motor skills of preschool children. A special advantage of haptic gloves using for the development of fine motor skills is the possibility of remote control of the children’s exercise during their absence in preschool. Remote connection of the teacher to the virtual model will allow monitoring and giving recommendations to the child during exercises online, and the presence of the virtual model of the game form will increase the child’s interest in learning. The purpose of this article is to develop the concept of fine motor skills development of preschool children using haptic gloves and virtual reality technologies. The existing prototypes of haptic gloves are considered. The technique of the haptic gloves using for pre-school educational institutions. The advantages and disadvantages of using virtual reality technologies in the educational process of preschool institutions are considered. The study concluded that the relevance of this technology for the development of fine motor skills of preschool children who are away from kindergarten. The prospects for the development of the subject are considered
