AI Data Glove: Somatic 

Shut up and take my mon....oh, links to the project files. Sweet. That'll do.

"Now you're playing with POWER!"

Mechanically simplistic, sleek, ergonomic, fairly sexy, and actually useful tech gear. Hat's off to you maker pro on this super project. Thanks for sharing it and for the massive amount of time you spent on it as well.

"this is my second favorite hand" X'D lol

This is cool as hell! Would be interesting to setup two of these to decode sign language into a TTS system.

actually impressive and the aesthetics are off the charts

I'd love to see more about that head mounted computer

Zack, you've got to try expanding human sensory abilities! Ideas may include pairing vibrating motors (or modern taptic modules) with infrared sensors (to expand eyesight), microphones (to hear danger even in headphones, or for deaf people), distance sensors (to feel when someone/something is behind your back), EM field sensors, you name it. You can make a whole range of actually useful wearables.

Maaaan im happy that RU-vid suggested your channel ! Love your creativity, editing and the detail of information you transport with your videos!

I just wanna say, you sir, are an inspirational force! I'm still in high school, but I've always wanted to make wearable tech, and your videos keep making me want to go out and research how to build something like your HUD or glove on a low budget! Keep it up, man. You're awesome.

2:53 is when I realized I'm joining the notification crew! I just came across your channel this morning and have been hooked. I've binge watched every video of yours besides the ones over an hour long. Haven't laughed this hard or been so happy to find a new channel in quite some time. Thank you for your content my new friend!

Truly revolutionary! First time I’ve seen something this elegant. Been waiting for something like this in vr to allow nursing students and Med students to do skills in augmented reality with hand movement.

I'm impressed by how good it looks, something between a motorcycle glove and a lifting glove. The flexibility of the connection is amazing as well! Enabling it to connect to any device as if it were a wireless keyboard is dope!

This was my introduction to your channel, and to this day still my favorite video of yours

It just feels awesome to see someone do projects normal people usually dream/dreamt of doing and not to mention that Zack is achieving these dreams with utter perfection! Way to go my dude. Hoping to see more awesome contents like these.

I'm shocked you don't have more views and subscribers, your projects are both intrinsically amazing and also presented in an extremely engaging and educational way. keep up the awesome work

This is so incredibly cool. Thank you so much. The hall sensor idea is just genius.

You are seriously my favorite RU-vidr. Thanks for helping me level up on my tech journey!! Happy New Year!!

Cool, looks good, is actually functional and useful. Probably one of the best gadgets on your channel, though I have quite a few more videos to watch.

"It's cyber-punk as f*ck!" I'm hooked, buddy. Good to meet you lol

Your production quality has definitely upgraded from then to now. Nice work.

Using the hall effect sensors instead of the flex pots was ace! You will also never need to replace a worn out sensor so +10 to durability. I need an RNN for chord and note permutation, and you gave me that last bit of data I was missing. Awesome project!

I’m currently a 2nd year computer engineering student. I appreciate you sharing your work with the Internet. Thank you. 🙂

I did this simular thing in 2010 with an old power glove and a gyro. Worked our really well. Had a keyboard on the forearm as well. Never thought about using HE sensors though! Pretty awesome and very useful design you have here! Well done, very well done.

I was trying to find a way to build this type of glove for AR typewriting, and you just give me the way to do it 🤩 thank you so much! now it is time to learn some electronics

It's been a while since I've been this blown away. Hats off to you!

I once did a chording keyboard in a glove using contacts made of conductive thread. I combined this with the bed-sensors from a Powerglove. That was pre-2000. Modern materials make all this a lot more tenable.

This is not just engineering, but actually so artisful. I am so inspired by this

This could have so many more applications as a practical use gesture interface. Damn good work and clever use of magnets!

Thank you for not being greedy and sharing these to us. We are humbled

Subbed, first time I have seen a diy hud and interface that looks like a practical tool and not a gimmick or toy

I love this video, man. Love the work you're doing!

Wow man, today I discovered your channel and it's awesome! Already watched half of your videos xD keep up the great job !!! Cheers from Chile !!!!

Great work . Looks nice and more practical than most of other designs

Holy crap, this whole project is amazing... I don't think I could walk around in public with the setup.... but I like the idea of a HUD greatly

Sick project, thanks for sharing!

Zack, you are by far the coolest guy! Love the stuff you do on your channel!

Love it! Thank you for sharing!

This was incredible! Thank you for sharing!

This is amazing! I'm totally interested in learning about this more!

Just found your page. Watched the "What's on my face!? video before this. Really good channel you got. Subscribed and am gonna be clicking watch on all your new videos! Thanks.

By far the best glove I've seen... Awesome 😎.

I would wear this everywhere. Looks amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

You are awesome! I'm glad RU-vid imposed me to watch one of your videos lol Your humor is as good as the information you present,,, now I feel I need to finish one of my projects

Holy shit, this is one of the most interesting projects I've seen! I'm fairly new to microcontrollers and this type of diy stuff, but I might start learning neural networks earlier than planned because of it lol

I cannot believe dude, i am working on this project using the exact solution you are using for past 3-4 months. I came up the idea of using a hall effect sensors when i disassembled an Xbox controller and found out that they use hall effect sensors for the triggers. I am using the Memsic MMC5603NJ sensors.

Wow, this project is insane - nice job man, might have to build my own Somatic too.

Man this is amazing. I loved it, I am definitely going to replicate it. This will teach me a lot

I always wonder how people got time and money to do amazing stuff like this. Cool project, looking into replicating it as well.

That's cooler than what I expected.

The hall sensor idea is awesome

That glove is really cool. I want your wearable set up! lol It's so cool.

I love you. This is amazing. I don't think I'd use this instead of a twiddler, but it's amazing anyway.

this is INSANELY cool!! Thank you for introducing me to this whole crazy world!! :)

Seriously this is GENIUS! I want one. The question is will you make me one for less than I value my time to do it myself? Name your price, sir.

breathtaking

This is bad ass. There's a company called "Emotive" that makes a fairly good EEG that might be worth looking in to for more cyberpunk UI input.

Some pretty interesting things you do here. I like it. Subscribed.

Absolutely awesome, Zack Freedman needs to go viral

What a cool project. You obviously have ten thousands projects under your belt

You inspire me keep up the good work

I wasn't too convinced on subscribing in some other video or 2 I saw but I subscribed anyway. This definitely got my subscription tho. cool af. simple and not clunky like other kinds of gloves

simply amazing...

This is a lot better that any commercial alternative.

I see potential for a motorcycle glove (controlling satnav and stuff)

this is insanely cool

Honestly one of the nicest wearables I've seen a vid of holy damn

Awesome!!!!!! I just want to finish my nursing board and submerge in all this, I have tons of ideas but lots to learn hopefully "never too late to learn" still works jejejejejejeje Your vids are awesome pretty sure your channel will keep growing!

I watched this five times, it's soo good.

Fantastic job man! I can’t even seem to finish my projects.

Love this video! I'm planning on using the Hall Effect idea (and perhaps the .stl based execution) for use with VR text entry via ASETNIOP. Small hiccup is that the fist is a needed character in ASETNIOP, so I'm thinking of adding two conductive surfaces to the "karate chop" area of each hand. If you tap them together (closing the circuit) they turn on and off. Other than adding that, your video and instructions are perfect idea sources!

This is awesome.

Inspiring work

Dude, I'm not even a tech nerd and that is freaking cool!!

Quality stuff right there.

This is dope!

You can add little button's on fingers for user defined macros. Place them in such a way that you can turn them on with your thumb.

Really smart & practical design . Appreciate the minimalism, knowing what you don't need can sometimes be the hardest part of a design one of the coolest wearables i've seen in a bit Thanks for sharing! Was wondering about how much could one type with it before experiencing fatigue- a couple words here and there? 2 or 3 sentences ? paragraphs? I'd imagine ease improves with use a bit

zack, thanks for this video, I am a fan and loving gridfinity to organize the bathroom drawers!, the iidea of using magnets is brilliant, I was about to use flex sensors, but I only need binary data (flex or not), thanks for the inspiration

This is really cool… and is also forcing me to rethink my sci if world building project.

this is SICK

great freaking job!

you have no idea how much I wish these were for sale

Honestly, that hall effect sensor usage is pretty damn genius. I doubt adding more sensors for the rest of the finger would impede movement too much, either - certainly I can't see it impeding movement like a flex sensor would.

I wonder if you could make a pair of gloves that can type using ASL gestures -- super cool!

You're a genius and I want to replicate this so badly.

"Look at me I am the keyboard now" - Tech Pirate

this is legit so cool

I would love to see this expanded into something for sign language. Not just so it's more accessible/something to get people interested in learning about the deaf communities out there, but because you could easily change it to recognize arbitrary inputs/gestures that may share the same movements as some signs as their own macros! Then you could literally be Keanu Reeves from Johnny Mnemonic!

Here from the future. Now I know why the cyborg look. Great project, well executed. You should be an inspiration to a lot of youngsters.

This is so cool, like actually so cool.

Dude is litteraly a real life cyborg! Holy crap some cool projects!!

Why the hell this stuff aint more commonplace? This is so cool!

Now this is fucking cool . Plz further develop this so one day we can all enjoy it.

A point on ergonomics (and why they mean that this design is very good). It's tempting to want to put extra sensors at different joints -- after all, a human can hold the big knuckle straight and bend a minor joint (or vice versa). However, there are only two main muscles controlling the bending and straightening or a finger, so holding one joint straight while bending the next meaning holding a lot of tension in the two muscles simultaneously. It isn't harmful when you do it occasionally, for things like shadow puppetry, but we don't do it for any of our frequent actions. A data glove with independent sensors at two knuckles on the same finger would be likely to result in UI gestures being developed that take advantage of these less ergonomic motions for relatively common functions, resulting in a repetitive abuse injury. This design measures the most important variables, and removes the possibility of either the software designer or the user to use a lot of potentially harmful gestures.

you're amazing zack

THANK YOU

Shoot, this is just rad
