Virtual Reality Gloves Based on the LucidGloves Project

Abstract

The outcome of the thesis was the written process of building a LucidGloves prototype 4 haptic glove and an analysis of what could be improved if someone were to build it again. While a video guide to building the glove exists, there were some issues faced while following it and solutions proposed. A Half-Life: Alyx map was made to gather feedback on the glove. Four test subjects tested the map, the results were analysed and potential improvements were presented, some of which were possible by modifying this prototype or the software, and some requiring a completely new design.
