1.1 Intended Users and Tracking Capabilities
This manual is intended for users who use HIG Glove, HiggloveNg, and a VMC receiver to drive finger movements on a virtual avatar.
What the Standard Version Can Track
- The standard version supports 5 finger flexion degrees of freedom, corresponding to flexion and extension of the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.
- It can track natural open-hand and closed-fist poses, as well as basic gestures formed by combinations of five-finger flexion.
- HiggloveNg outputs finger bone data through VMC for receiver software to drive the virtual avatar's fingers.
Large-Scale Deployments or Higher-DoF Requirements
If you require large-scale deployment, multiple glove pairs used in the same space, 6DoF or 7DoF finger solutions, or other custom capabilities, see the Business Customer / Development Integration Manual, or contact HIGVR staff to discuss your project requirements.
Spatial Tracking Limitations
- The gloves and this VMC output do not provide the spatial position of the palm or arm.
- When spatial position data is required, it must be provided by controllers, Trackers, SlimeVR, Rebocap, or another tracking solution.
- This workflow does not require SteamVR to be installed or connected.
