The Teslasuit Glove (also known as TESLAGLOVE) is a professional haptic feedback and motion capture glove system developed by Teslasuit, announced at CES 2020 as a companion to the Teslasuit full-body haptic suit. The Teslasuit Glove represents one of the most advanced commercial haptic hand devices, combining three key technologies: electrostimulation haptics with a 3×3 array on each finger (90+ total channels—more than the 80 channels in the entire Teslasuit body suit) enabling users to feel virtual textures naturally, motorized force feedback exoskeleton delivering up to 9 Newtons of force (2.8-3.3 kg*cm torque) that physically stops the user's hand when touching virtual objects, and driftless motion capture using encoder-based resistive bending sensors plus IMU for precise finger and wrist tracking without the drift common to other motion capture systems. The glove also includes real-time biometric monitoring of heart rate, stress level, and emotional state. Designed for enterprise applications in mining, oil and gas, energy, hazardous manufacturing, and military training, the Teslasuit Glove connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi to the Teslasuit or PC, and can integrate with HTC Vive Trackers for positional tracking in room-scale VR environments.
