This is a fork of the popular project LucidGloves. This project aims to build a compact and OpenGlove compatible, flex sensor based VR glove. The hardware is a complete departure from the orignal LucidGlove.
The firmware can be found here: https://github.com/JohnRThomas/OpenGlove-Firmware
The hardware of this project differs from LucidGlove because it relies on flex sensors instead potentiometers for finger curl tracking.

The 3D printable parts. Both STL and Fusion360 files are available for ease of modification.
All measurements for the design of FlexiaGloves were based off the size of a single hand, however all hands are different; More than likely every part of the glove will need to be tailored the size of the target hand.
The length of each finger guide should be configured to match length of each segment of the target fingers. The width of the guide should be adjusted to accommodate the size of the homemade flex sensors.
The length, width, finger spacing, and wrist width of the baseplate should be configured to be comfortable on the target hand.
The length of each module should be configured to accommodate the total range of motion for each finger. The back portion of the module can be extended or shrunk based on the length of spring wire that is required.
