Title:
- Demonstrating Magnus: A Magnetic Hand Exoskeleton for Fast and Dexterous Finger Actuation
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
This submission presents “Magnus,” a novel hand exoskeleton powered by electromagnets that can provide high-speed, dexterous, and yet flexible finger actuation. Our demos feature assisted finger drumming that beyond original body capabilities and a first-person shooting gaming scenario where two players’ hand gestures are combined, thus achieving higher gaming performance.
