Robotic grip gloves

Developed by General Motors and NASA. When the pressure increases in the finger tips, the glove tendons retract, holding the pressure and reducing the amount of force needed to hold the tool.

You can grip tools for longer without getting tired.

  • Why were a glove...

    when you can simply wave your bare hands in front of a camera? This is a wasted effort.

    Between semi-passive optical motion capture (like XBox Kinect) and the current crop of input devices, this has no placement.

    Semi-passive optical motion capture will only get better, they should be working on that instead.

  • Gadget gloves - Useless

    I cannot see a practical use for these gadget gloves. Virtual reality gloves with the iwear VR920 eyepiece is a much better solution.
