Fifth Dimension Technology

Precise hand tracking with the 5DT Data Glove Ultra Series

The 5DT Data Glove Ultra Series is a proven solution for professionals who place high demands on the detection of hand and finger movements. Developed for accuracy and ease of use, it supports modern applications in animation, virtual production and research, where even fine movements must be reliably captured. Combining advanced sensor technology and ergonomic design, the glove is an important tool for digital representations and scientific studies.

Core Benefits

Advanced sensor technology

Proprietary fiber optic bending sensors provide accurate, repeatable data. The technology minimizes overlap between the fingers and also reliably captures fine, isolated movements.

High wearing comfort

Made of flexible Lycra, the glove adapts to different hand sizes. It enables longer work without noticeable fatigue.

Wireless use

With the optional 5DT Ultra Wireless Kit, a stable connection up to 20 meters is possible - ideal for dynamic sequences and larger VR environments.

Cross-platform integration

The open SDK is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac. In addition, drivers and plugins for Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max and MotionBuilder are available to integrate the gloves directly into existing workflows.

Fast data collection

With a sampling rate of at least 75 Hz, the glove offers liquid and responsive motion data for real-time applications.

model variants

Data Glove 5 Ultra

One sensor per finger measures the total diffraction. A cost-effective solution for applications that require simple, reliable finger data, e.g. B. Animation or basic gesture recognition.

Data Glove 14 Ultra

Two sensors per finger additionally detect knuckle and joint movements as well as the spreading of the fingers. These detailed data are particularly suitable for realistic character animations and research projects in the medical field.

Special Options

MRI compatible versions

Both models are also available in MRI-suitable versions. They do not contain magnetic components and are connected to an external control box via fiber optic cables, so that movement data can be securely captured during scans.
