Prototype WiFi Gloves Using x-OSC and x-BIMU

Prototype WiFi Gloves Using x-OSC (www.x-io.co.uk/x-osc/) and x-BIMU (www.x-io.co.uk/x-bimu/).
Software hacked together using Phill Tews OSC library (bitbucket.org/rugcode/rug.osc/) and real-time plotting tools from x-BIMU Terminal (github.com/xioTechnologies/x-....

Awesome. Someone needs to hook this guy up with some capital so we can all get great data gloves. His demo was spot on for what we want to see in VR gloves.

[@Neceros]

This is the kind of new tech we need for VR. I want to point out that vibrating motors are NOT haptic feedback.

[@skitrel2795]

"Haptic technology, or haptics, is a tactile feedback technology which takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user." Yes, by definition it is. It is just not the kind of feedback that you want.

[@AbsurdAsparagus]

yes it is its just very very limited.

[@Suro_One]

That's amazing .Right out of ready player one. Here's an idea for the next versions. A small exoskeleton that can give feedback so it can (weakly) pull or push your finger joints in and outwards.

[@SilasFarseer]

Nice. I'm looking forward to some good VR gloves. What is the latency from motion to display? It seems a bit delayed.

[@hireegy]

You showed us the angular performance quite well with the cuboid. But my human eyes are not well suited for small real-time noisy graphs, so I would like the XYZ tracking performance now :-) how close can you be to touch a virtual object when you want it ? Still an awesome thing you did here by the way!

[@carlosbarreto1669]

Excelent job! what sample rate are you having with the fused sensors?

[@jamieharrison1516]

we are in a golf simulator company and would love to set this technology up for a golf coaching aid software program, we need to make the transmitter as small as possible and just get the pressure readings in the figure via wifi, how small can the transmitter be if we just do this function?

[@adarshbp]

Can u plz explain how gestures are stored and identified?

[@Cesium89]

That's quite good. How long does the battery last?

[@hilmarthordarson1687]

wonder why you need both x-osc and x-bimu since the x-osc also has a gyro accelero and magnetometer?

[@teamaxe]

Hilmar Thordarson Because the x-OSC does not have calibrated magnetometer readings nor an AHRS fusion algorithm on-board.

[@Giubbo17]

Very good job! I like to see the "holy bible" under your screen! ;)

[@GynvaelColdwindEN]

Awesome stuff and a great addition to oculus rift! So... as the popular meme goes: shut up and take my money! :)

[@AllaunSilverfox]

I posted this to reddit as well, but could you PLEASE set your captions? Google does a fairly good job, but I'm not sure you meant to say "rug receive ivory to display". Other examples in the auto-caption I'm sure. But utterly useless for those that are attempting to understand what is being said.

Yeah, drop bluetooth!
