  • Patent number: 9342151
    Abstract: This disclosure includes a hand motion-capturing device with a force feedback system. In some embodiments the device includes a base, a microcontroller connected to the base, a thumb sensor module and four-finger sensor modules each electrically connected to the microcontroller. In some embodiments, the device may include five-link rods that interconnect the thumb sensor module to the base and each of the four-finger sensor modules to the base. In some embodiments, the device includes a thumb force feedback system adapted and configured to receive a human thumb and a four-finger force feedback system adapted and configured to receive an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, and a little finger. The thumb force feedback system and the four-finger force feedback system may each be movably connected to respective link rods and the thumb sensor module and four-finger sensor modules, respectively.
