Abstract
This paper proposes a tactile transfer and display method between a data glove and vibration motors module. The data glove is developed to capture the hand postures and to measure the grip forces. The measured data are simplified with the proposed 5-bit transfer and display algorithm, and the vibration motors module is developed to display the measured hand posture and grip force to the operator. The proposed 5-bit algorithm contains both an 8-step hand posture and 4-step grip force level information for tactile transfer to the vibration motors module. Also, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through several experiments.
