Unicom virtual and realistic hand action trap Dexmo landing kicks

As a bridge between the virtual world and the real world, professional action capture equipment is expensive, for ordinary consumers, especially for geeks, or both tall and not connected with the Earth, it is difficult to apply in their own products and ideas. We previously reported that the DEXTA Robotics team of five young people, in the process of manipulator, found this gap, made a hand action capture Dexmo, the current product has landed Kickstarter, plans to raise 200,000 U.S. dollars, has raised 30,000 U.S. dollars.

DEXMO adopted a mechanical action capture scheme, made the shape of the hand, the bending of the hand through a group of connecting rod decomposition map to the rotating sensor, calculate the position and posture of the hand, to capture the hands of action. With this option, mainly for two aspects such as consideration: first, mechanical action capture, high precision, can be done real-time measurement of the boot, do not need to be calibrated every time; second, you can use the expensive sensor, the relatively low cost but relatively high accuracy of the rotating sensor, at the same time, Connecting rod and other mechanical parts can be produced by way of open mold, and the cost can be very low under large quantity.
