DAS Dex 2.0 data glove rebuilt around magnetic encoders for precise finger-joint tracking
micoolcho · x · 2026-11-07
After testing nearly every hand data glove on the market, the DAS Dex 2.0 team rebuilt theirs around tiny magnetic encoders placed along the fingers. Their core argument: if a glove can't measure each finger joint angle precisely, every downstream model inherits that error. Soft gloves deform during grasping, so contact geometry is never fully modeled and mapping deformation onto a 21-point hand model introduces errors. Tesla FSD lead sguada called the magnetic-encoder approach "a pretty crazy engineering achievement."
