VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Play, download and edit the free video DIY VR mudra glove for Vive Tracker.

This video belongs to a tutorial on Instructables showing you how to make etextile gloves for use in VR with the Vive tracker. They replace the joysticks designed for the Vive, making VR interactions more tactile and human.

They are called 'mudra' gloves because you pinch the index and forefinger with the thumb to make a connection.

The gloves are designed to be hackable and repairable.

We have used stretch bonding film (textile glue designed for sportswear and lingerie) and stretch knit conductive fabric to construct the textile circuit with a domestic iron. Stretch fabric means the gloves fit more people. Bonding the circuit reduces the amount of sewing required as some people are not as familiar with sewing techniques.

The gloves in this tutorial were made by Rachel Freire, Becca Rose and a team of scientists at the Intangible Realities Laboratory led by David Glowacki at Bristol University UK, who are using them to precisely interact with simulated molecules in VR. Making their own DIY gloves gave the team insight into how the gloves work and how to maintain and repair them.
