Description
Precision Hand Tracking with Haptic Feedback
MANUS Metagloves Pro Haptic integrate electromagnetic field (EMF) tracking with haptic
feedback to deliver millimeter-level hand motion capture and real-time object interaction
signals. With 25 degrees of freedom, the system generates anatomically complete datasets of the human hand, capturing every joint and micro-movement for high-fidelity robotic control, embodied AI training, and VR/XR interaction.
CORE TECHNOLOGY
MANUS Metagloves Pro Haptic integrate electromagnetic field (EMF) tracking with haptic
feedback to deliver millimeter-level hand motion capture and real-time object interaction
signals. With 25 degrees of freedom, the system generates anatomically complete datasets of the human hand, capturing every joint and micro-movement for high-fidelity robotic control, embodied AI training, and VR/XR interaction. EMF tracking provides millimeter-level accuracy with no occlusion, no drift, and persistent calibration. Integrated Linear Resonant Actuators provide real-time vibrotactile feedback during object interaction, enhancing spatial awareness and accelerating learning in teleoperation and
virtual environments. Calibration completes in seconds, with profiles that persist across users, battery changes, and workstations.
MODULAR DESIGN
The detachable Haptic Top Module contains all electronics and connectivity, enabling costefficient multi-user deployment. Each operator requires only their own sized Haptic Sensor Glove. Swappable batteries and optional USB-C power support continuous 24/7 operation. The system integrates directly into existing pipelines through real-time streaming, industry-standard file export, or full SDK customization.
APPLICATIONS
Designed for teleoperation systems requiring tactile feedback, embodied AI training workflows demanding rich interaction datasets, and XR/VR environments where haptic response improves task performance and immersion. Suitable for robotics research, motion science, and AI development requiring anatomically accurate human hand data.
