reHub glove experimenting and developing processes are going hand in hand on two fronts:

• Textile
• Technology

reHub Team is at work during opencare - MIR to analyze and redesign the glove, improving the weak aspects of the old prototype:

Textile

We are defining a new pattern for the glove: a surface of stretch material that covers the top of the hand and holds to it by soft elastic bands on the bottom. Tailoring a glove is not easy stuff, this new model is designed to be easily reproduced with digital fabrication and basic sewing knowledge.

Technology

Technologic development during opencare MIR was about searching for a micro controller worthy of the new glove, version 4.0, described above. We selected curieNano micro controller of DFRobot, the evolution of Arduino Curie’s board developed on Intel’s SoC.

Here a sample of the system we will use to connect the tiny microcontrollers.
