provide early warning for unhealthy environmental factors (air quality, radiation, outgassing, temperature)

Design for Entertainment (sights, sounds, music, activity)

enhance the human experience whether during work or play

Explanation

Our glove aims to allow astronauts experience sensibility under working conditions. This project consists in a autonomous glove equipped with pressure sensors on the fingertips. While astronauts are grabbing an object, it allows to transfer pressure to vibration motors or other actuators on the back of the hand. The glove is equipped with a gyroscope to readjust the vibration applied based on the position of the hand. Depending on the position, the hand does not make the same force.
