Implementation of haptic gloves
Fraunhofer IEM has created an Augmented Reality application with the SenseGlove in a joint research project with Hella Headlights. With a combination of a paper mock-up of an assembly cell, an AR headset and SenseGloves. Hella was able to optimize their design for manufacturing processes in the early product development stage.
The results
This study of Fraunhofer IEM showed that participants valued the added realism of the haptic- and force-feedback compared to a version of the simulation with traditional controllers. “The evaluation of the new system confirmed that the improvements enable a more realistic simulation of the assembly processes and a more intuitive operation of the system”.
