Project Statement

My goal for this project is creating a working pair of hand tracking gloves for virtual reality. This idea really popped out to me because I've played VR games for years and have always wanted ways to make it more immersive and this idea of just being able to use your full hand instead of a controller to interact with things. This project is coming from a preexisting build that I'm hoping to adapt to my use case.

Next steps :

For this project I'm planning on continuing the project over the summer and taking it to another level by adding "haptics" to stop hand movement to emulate grabbing things in VR, im planning on doing this through servos added into the mechanism
