The Talon Glove measures abduction / adduction, flexion / extension, thumb rotation, and pinch events. The sensors are adjustable to fit directly over a person's joints and can accurately measure knuckle movement, can track the position of the thumb as it bends under the palm, and has an integrated battery pack and transmitter in the lightweight glove. The Talon has a tested range of 100 feet and with a maximum latency of 18 milliseconds.
Hand Data Integrated with Face and Body Capture
The Talon glove is fully integrated with Motion Analysis' optical motion capture systems and works in real-time. With the increase for cinematics in video games, the Talon provides detailed hand animation data at the same time as the body movements are being captured. Historically, hand data for video games was either too inaccurate or necessitated an additional, separate tracking session. The Talon now offers the industrial world a single, accurate, integrated solution for simultaneous capture in real time of both the hand and body.
Virtual Environments
Virtual environments allow a group of instructors and students to carry out the learning process that is meant to replace the physical class environment. This experience allows for the potential of increased interactivity between students and the environment created. Environments can be updated and changed immediately to reflect current design of machine prototypes or physical surroundings, resulting in substantial cost savings.
