How To Make Vr Gloves

LucidGloves

This repo contains the arduino firmware as well as the STL files for Prototypes 3 through 4 of the LucidVR glove. 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

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. Firmware Troubleshooting Guide is here: Firmware Troubleshooting Guide.

Tested boards:

  • Arduino Nano
  • ESP-WROOM-32

Supported Communication Methods:

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

STL files for 3D printing are located in the hardware folder. Prototype 4 models are currently experimental.

The assembly for each hand is as follows:

For Prototypes 3 and 3.1 –

  • 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)

For Prototypes 4 and 4.1 –

  • HapticSpool (5x)
  • Tensioner_GreenPot (5x) OR Tensioner_WLPot (5x)
  • SpoolCover (5x)
  • RigidMount (1x) (Left or right hand)
  • WLPotSlideHolder OR WLPotElasticHolder OR GreenPotSlideHolder (5x)
  • Quest2_MountSlider OR Vive3.0_MountSlider (1x)
  • GuideRing (Proto 3) (Will need to be resized) OR GuideNode (Proto 3.1) (2+ per finger, 1+ for thumb)
  • EndCap (Proto 3) (1x per finger, will need to be resized to fit)

Required parts for each hand: Parts Lists 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) (One is required for autocalibration)

More information will be available on the LucidVR site very soon.
