As the user curls a finger, the potentiometer rotates and produces a changing analog value. The ESP32 converts this value into a finger curl amount, usually from <strong>open hand<\/strong> to <strong>fully closed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That curl data is then sent over <strong>Serial<\/strong> to the computer. The program could read the serial data and use it to animate the virtual hand. For example, when the user bends their fingers, the virtual fingers curl in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The servo motors are used for <strong>force feedback<\/strong>. The computer can also send serial commands back to the ESP32. These commands tell the servos what position to move to. When the user grabs a virtual object, such as a cube, the VR program detects the collision\/contact point and sends a servo position command. The servo then tightens or holds the tendon\/string mechanism, preventing the finger from curling further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/319f9769-f883-4a04-839d-45481c0711cd-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/319f9769-f883-4a04-839d-45481c0711cd-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/319f9769-f883-4a04-839d-45481c0711cd-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/319f9769-f883-4a04-839d-45481c0711cd-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/319f9769-f883-4a04-839d-45481c0711cd.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2544.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242392\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this creates a \u201clock\u201d point. The user can move their finger freely until the virtual finger reaches the surface of the object. At that point, the servo holds the mechanism at that position, making it feel like the user\u2019s finger has physically contacted the cube. When the object is released, the servo relaxes, allowing the finger to move freely again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Each glove is equipped with six <strong>BNO086 IMU sensors<\/strong>, one mounted on the back of the hand and one on each finger. These sensors continuously track motion by combining data from a <strong>3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer<\/strong>. Through onboard sensor fusion, each IMU outputs a real-time <strong>absolute 3D orientation<\/strong> (quaternion) of the segment it is attached to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By comparing the orientation of each finger relative to the hand, the system calculates precise <strong>finger curl and splay angles<\/strong>, allowing it to reconstruct the full pose of the user\u2019s hand in virtual space. This approach eliminates the need for external cameras or tracking systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All IMUs share a single SPI bus connected to the ESP32-S3 and stream fused orientation data at <strong>100 Hz<\/strong>, providing a <strong>low-latency, drift-corrected representation<\/strong> of hand movement. This enables smooth, accurate tracking in VR environments, even during rapid or complex gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2-1024x524.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2-1536x786.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/imu2.png 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LRAs (Linear Resonant Actuators)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide realistic touch feedback, each fingertip is equipped with an <strong>LRA (Linear Resonant Actuator)<\/strong> haptic motor. These motors are driven by dedicated <strong>DRV2605L haptic driver chips<\/strong>, which are accessed through an <strong>I\u00b2C multiplexer<\/strong> to allow independent control of each finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional vibration motors, LRAs operate at a tuned resonant frequency, producing <strong>sharp, precise, and highly responsive feedback<\/strong>. This allows the system to generate a wide range of tactile sensations, from quick taps to more complex textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a virtual interaction occurs (such as touching, tapping, or grasping an object), the VR system sends commands back to the glove. The firmware then activates the appropriate actuator, delivering <strong>localized feedback to the exact finger involved in the interaction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This per-finger control creates a more immersive experience, allowing users to feel where and how they are interacting with virtual objects rather than receiving a generalized vibration across the entire hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1-1024x524.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1-1536x786.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f1147146-78ef-47da-bf2c-e5c30afbfce1.png 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanical Components<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanical components for the servo spool system were based on the open-source LucidGloves project.
