User interfaces

In our HCI lab we work with several devices, that provide different means of interaction between human and computer. These devices facilitate space location, visual feedback, motion capture, hand gesture input and simple force feedback. Devices are:

• Gloves
  • 5th Glove - data glove sensoring the bending of 5 fingers (in range 0-255) plus pitch & roll information
  • Pinch Glove - left/right pair of gloves detecting contacts among finger tips
• Trackers
  • Polhemus Ultratrack with 4 6DOF sensors (motion tracking up to 10 meters)
  • Logitech Ultrasound Trackers - 3D mouse, triangles, Crystal Eyes VR (position tracking up to 2 meters)
  • trackers from IO glasses (3DOF - orientation in Earth space)
• Stereo Vision
  • Crystal Eyes Bundle, Crystal Eyes VR - polarised stereoglasses, optionally with Logitech ultrasound tracker
  • IO glasses - LED shutter stereoglasses, helmet with earphones and 3DOF Earth space orientation tracker
  • CyberEye helmet
• Force Feedback
  • PHANToM 1.0
  • torsion feedback - under development
