In this paper the design and construction of a novel wireless Dataglove based on new flexible goniometric sensor technology is described. The device is characterized by a low cost and rugged construction and no requires calibration before its use. Indeed, the sensors used are purely goniometric, so they are not sensible to dimensions of the user’s hand. The Dataglove can measure the angular displacement of the fingers hand using 11 sensors, each sensor has a resolution of 0.2 degrees, with 3 degree of accuracy in the worst case. The communication between the Dataglove and its computer Host is carried out using a 2,4 Gigahertz Wireless Bluetooth radio protocol, in a guaranteed range up to 10 meters with a refresh rate of 100 Hz. ©2007 IEEE.
