Project name
PolyGlove: a body-based haptic interface
Project short description
PolyGlove is a new kind of haptic interfaces, that try to overcome the borders of the present datagloves exploiting the EAP technology. This glove belongs to the body-based haptic interfaces, interfaces that use the user's body as force reaction base. EAPs, or better electroactive polymers, are materials that exhibit physical behaviors in response to an electrical stimulation, or vice versa, return an electrical signal in response to a physical stimulus. These materials can work as sensors and actuators, and thanks to their skills they can represent a solution at the previously mentioned limits. In this paper is presented the synthesis of a work where the EAP technology is applied into the haptic interfaces field.

People involved
put here the links to the AIRWiki pages associated to all the people working on the project
[by the way, please note that one of such pages is automatically created for every AIRLab user (yes, for you too) and that you MUST have filled it in - complete with a photo - before entering the lab for the first time]

Part 2: project description
Just to give you some ideas:
- state of the art;
- preliminary studies and sketches;
- design notes and guidelines;
- link to project documents and files (you can upload them using the Special:Upload page);
- description and results of experiments;
- photos and videos (they must have been uploaded with Special:Upload before you can insert them into this page);
- link to source code of the software written for the project (you can upload it with Special:Upload);
- advice about the configuration and the use of hardware and software;
- useful internet links;
- anything else that you think is useful to describe the project or could help people who will work on it in the future. Think about what you would have liked to find clearly explained when you started your work, instead of discovering it all by yourself the hard way. (By the way, if some of those missing information belong to other pages of this wiki, please update those pages: future users will be grateful.)
