TouchGlove v1.6-L (obsolete)

A controller for drum machines at your fingertips. A very expressive and natural sensor. Includes 6 pressure sensors per glove - five on the fingertips and one on the palm, each 13 mm (0.51 inch) in diameter and capable of sensing from 1 N (0.1 Kg, 0.2 lb) all the way upto 98 N (10 Kg, 22 lb). Tune the TouchGlove using the online manual. Available in left hand (TouchGlove v1.6-L) and right hand (TouchGlove v1.6-R) version.

Application examples

  1. Uses the same sensor as in the TouchMini, so why don't you add a few of those for more sensitivity.
  2. Use as touch controller, eg. for synthesizer. Check out the Virtual Drum Set that was made with two TouchGloves.
  3. Combine with the BendShort, BendMini or BendMicro and create your own custom dataglove (add some punch with a GForce3D-3).
  4. For whole-body expression go bodysuit, capture all your joints' movements and express with all your extremities. Combine with BendMicro, BendMini and BendShort sensors from finger to toe. A GForce3D-3 on each of your feet and hands captures kicks and punches. A Hot will keep you in check of your body temp. Use the TouchGlove on both hands to always be able to touch-control your performance, even while doing a handstand.
  5. A wireless Wi-microDig and one of our BatteryPacks is recommended in all cases to operate without tether.
