5DT Data Glove Ultra

The 5DT Data Glove Ultra is designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of modern motion capture and animation professionals. It offers comfort, ease of use, a small form factor and multiple application drivers. The high data quality, low cross-correlation and high data rate make it ideal for realistic real-time animation.

The system interfaces with the computer via a USB cable. A Serial Port (RS 232 – platform independent) option is available through the 5DT Data Glove Ultra Serial Interface Kit. It features 10-bit flexure resolution, extreme comfort, low drift and an open architecture. The 5DT Data Glove Ultra Wireless Kit interfaces with the computer via Bluetooth technology (up to 20m distance) for high speed connectivity for up to 8 hours on a single battery. Right- and left-handed models are available. One size fits many (stretch lycra).
