The
glove has been hand carved and modeled from wax, working directly
on the performer's hand to create a custom fit. It is fully jointed
for comfortable, natural movement, and includes cutting and digging
tools at the ends of the fingertips. The joints will allow for the
transfer of input signals via a series of flex sensors that will produce
varied electrical signals to drive other suit elements. The wax original
has been dismantled, molded with silicon and duplicated using wax
injection. The individual parts are now being cast in titanium. The
resulting units will eventually be jointed with fiber composites.
The final product will have an organic appearance, mechanical movement,
and functional input. (See also previous
developmental stages of the glove.) |
