Abstract

This paper demonstrates a wearable body motion tracking technology in the form of data glove to measure the instantaneous bending positions of individual finger knuckles. Attached to the glove is a highly stretchable and flexible silver nanowire (AgNW) based capacitive strain sensor which can adapt to curvilinear surfaces. The sensor shows a linear response to large tensile strain up to 60% with less than 5 msec response time. Such kind of merits enable many applications, e.g. Virtue Reality, gaming, and robot control, which desire natural human-machine interactions associated with typical human motions such as finger movements, walking, running and jumping, etc.
