Patent attributes
A motion capture glove may use a set of sensors to detect the motion of fingers. Pairs of magnets and magnetic sensors may be positioned along portions of a hand that are capable of movement or bending. For example, a magnet may be positioned on one side of a top of the joint and a magnetic sensor on the opposite side of the top of the joint. As a user bends the finger, the sensor is moved further away from the magnet. An electrical signal generated by the sensor may vary as the distance between the sensor and the magnet varies. The strength of the electrical signal may be used to determine a configuration of the joint. A determination of the configuration of each joint may be used to determine a configuration of a hand, which can be used to generate an animation of motion capture clip.
