About

About Metagloves Pro

Metagloves Pro use electromagnetic tracking to reconstruct 25 degrees of finger and hand motion with millimetre-level precision. The technology does not depend on camera visibility and does not accumulate the positional drift associated with purely inertial gloves, allowing the hands to move behind objects or outside an optical volume.

MANUS Core manages user calibration, hand models, live streaming and export, while SDKs connect the data to virtual production, simulation, research and robot-control software. Calibration profiles can be reused between sessions, and detachable electronics with swappable batteries support longer capture schedules. The gloves provide pose data without integrated force or actuation feedback.
