iLab-Gloves--Design of AR Experimental Gloves Based on Ergonomics and Force Feedback Technology

Experimental operations have always been a necessary link in popular science education. However, due to regional differences in educational resources, difficulty in operation for novice experimenters, the danger of some experiments, and the scarcity of consumables, virtual experiments for students are expected by the public. Based on flexible microfluidic sensing technology, this paper proposes an AR glove with a subtle force feedback effect, specially used for virtual experiments and teaching. In order to provide more accurate force feedback to the hand skin, we entered university laboratories, observed and analysed the standard hand movements of laboratory operators to collect data on force feedback points, and integrated them into the design of microfluidic AR gloves. In the end, 13 necessary sensing parts for each hand were obtained, which were integrated into the design to achieve a more accurate experimental force feedback effect.
