ContactGlove3 Pro is a high-precision data glove connecting humans and robots, built on proprietary Zero-Drift™ Technology. It measures the absolute position of all five fingers across 6DOF without drift, faithfully reproducing even the finest hand movements — enabling high-precision data acquisition at scale.
About
Achieving world-highest-class precision.Enabling large-scale, high-quality fingertip data collection
ContactGlove3 Pro is an industrial-grade data glove designed primarily for robot teleoperation and hand and finger motion-data collection. It combines high-precision fingertip tracking via electromagnetic field (EMF) sensing, high-precision sensing coils built into all five fingertips, native support for ROS 2 / C++ / Python SDK, and cross-platform compatibility with Linux / macOS / Windows, making it the standard interface for fingertip data collection in R&D settings at research labs, startups, and enterprises.
Features
Absolute Position TrackingPowered by the New Zero-Drift™ Technology
ContactGlove3 Pro adopts our proprietary Zero-Drift™ Technology, in which sensors read the transmitter's magnetic field to directly measure absolute position. It tracks all five fingers in six degrees of freedom (6DOF) with a relative position error of 0.5mm (max 1.5mm) and an angular error of 0.4° (max 1°). Because it doesn't rely on accumulating motion, errors never build up and the position stays accurate even during extended use. A one-time-only calibration is all it needs—no further setup afterward. *Relative position and angular errors are values measured using our own method under recommended conditions.

Sensors at Every FingertipCapturing Delicate Finger-to-Finger Interactions
ContactGlove3 Pro houses a high-precision sensing coil in each of its five fingertips. This allows the position and orientation of each fingertip to be measured independently and with high accuracy, faithfully capturing and reproducing delicate finger-to-finger interactions such as touching, pinching, and combining fingers.
This is a key feature that sets the product apart from other tracking methods and data gloves for applications that capture and reproduce precise human fingertip motions as training data — such as object grasping, assembly, tool operation, and fine manipulation tasks.

Metal Noise Reduction
Reduces metal interference (noise), a known weakness of electromagnetic-field-based systems. Enables accurate data collection anywhere, even near metal materials or robots, improving overall data quality.

FAQ
What is the difference between ContactGlove3 and ContactGlove3 Pro?
OpenCloseThe biggest difference is the sensor placement position. ContactGlove3 uses an open-finger design that keeps the fingertips free, so its sensor is positioned at the second joint. ContactGlove3 Pro, on the other hand, places the sensor at the fingertip, allowing it to detect finger movement more accurately. In addition, ContactGlove3 Pro comes with an SDK included as standard.Is the setup easy?
OpenCloseYes, it's simple. After a one-time calibration there's no further setup. The communication dongle comes with a bundled 1.2m extension cable and a magnet on the back, so you can place it wherever works best and get started right away.How long does the battery last?
OpenCloseUp to 10 hours of continuous use. A redesigned dongle and battery management keep the connection stable even during long sessions.What can it be used for?
OpenCloseIt works for far more than VR/XR interaction, including motion capture and remote robot operation. It supports hand and finger motion capture, humanoid teleoperation, advanced skill training and simulation. The SDK is included with ContactGlove3 Pro.What are the pricing and release dates?
OpenCloseContactGlove3 Pro will be priced at USD 3,999 / EURO 3,999 and will go on sale starting November 2026.
