VMG 8  

Practical and economic, the VMG 8 is a professional and multipurpose Data Glove. The new VMG 8 is a complete and innovative sensor for motion detection. Thanks to its (5) embedded sensors, it is possible to accurately measure the finger movements, while the embedded 9 axes (3 axes accelerometer, 3 axes gyroscope and 3 axes magnetometer) motion sensor allows to sense both the hand movements and the hand orientation (roll and pitch and yaw).

The glove communicates with external devices via USB cable or Bluetooth connection.

The glove can be powered directly from USB or use internal battery for  complete unwired use. The internal 3.7V 300mAh battery guarantees around 6 hours of continuous use. The internal battery can be recharged with the provided USB cable.

The innovative design allows users to completely remove all the sensors and the electronic board, so the glove can be cleaned or changed.

The combination of a high resolution with a low price makes the VMG Lite a perfect solution to expand and integrate your virtual reality project, tele-robotic application and motion capture task, or anything you can think it is possible to do with a data glove.
