lucidgloves- Firmware and 3D Print Files

This repo contains the arduino firmware as well as the STL files for Prototype 3 of the LucidVR glove prototype. This is a finger tracking glove that allows you to use your hands in VR. Follow along with Lucas_VRTech's developments on his Tiktok page: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucas_vrtech

Firmware

Open the firmware files located in the firmware/lucidgloves-firmware folder. By default the firmware is configured for an arduino nano using serial. To configure the firmware, change the defines in the lucidgloves-firmware.ino file.

Configuration instructions are here: Configuration Instructions.

Tested boards:

* Arduino Nano
* ESP-WROOM-32

Supported Communication Methods:

* USB Serial
* Bluetooth Serial (On ESP32 boards)
* BLE (Soon, not up yet)

Hardware

STL files for 3D printing are located in the hardware folder. Prototype 3.1 models are currently experimental

The assembly for each hand is as follows:

  • Spool (5x)

  • Tensioner (5x)

  • Cover (5x)

  • Holder (5x)

  • GuideRing(Will need to be resized) OR GuideNode(3.1) (2+ per finger, 1+ for thumb)

  • EndCap (1x per finger, will need to be resized to fit)

Guide for printing parts: Printing guide

Required parts for each hand: Parts List
Optional:

  • Joysticks for locomotion
    • will be making a DIY treadmill eventually as well for those who would prefer that
  • Buttons (Most can be replaced with gestures)

More information will be available on the LucidVR site very soon.
Will be releasing video tutorials on how to assemble and setup the gloves.

Driver
