Vibrating Haptic Stimulation Glove for Virtual Reality Environments

This research introduces the construction of a glove of haptic stimulation of bilateral communication between the virtual environment and the user. The structure is developed through the implementation of flexural sensors and vibratory actuators in charge of handling movement, gestures and contact with virtual surfaces. The system is based on the bilateral communication of a virtual environment in Unity 3D with the haptic glove which is in charge of analyzing the gestures used by the user and interacting with the virtual environment; the contact with surfaces and objects generates a vibratory feedback in the motile area subject to movement. The connection and transmission of data is done through wireless technologies responsible for creating a reliable and real-time communication. The results show the efficiency of the haptic stimulating glove oriented to virtual reality.
