General information: 

Q&Q is a deep-tech startup active in the Human Machine Interface areas.

Most of us have had an eXtended reality (XR) experience at some point and would agree that in most cases this experience is delivered by almost three of our senses – visual, audio and ‘somehow’ the touch sense.  

Magos, the next gen human-computer-interaction (HCI) solution, is coming to revolutionize the interaction framework in the XR environments. A solution that enables freedom of fingers movement has an important role to play. It is an essential aid especially for virtual simulations and training applications which prepare individuals to work and perform in highly demanding and stressful environments. Imagine that you could interact with every button in a virtual cockpit using your fingers instead of holding a pair of touch controllers or have a doctor to be trained in surgical procedure within a virtual operating room, at a medical university.   

The unique capabilities of Magos enable the development of training applications that can offer the muscle memory required to efficiently and accurately perform complex procedures, having a more intuitive, immersive and realistic interaction with the virtual world.

The MAGOS Platform constitutes the technology platform that is able to serve several verticals, due to its advanced data reliability, robustness and accuracy. High profile organizations in verticals like gaming, healthcare and engineering have already expressed their willingness to be early adopters.  

Specifically, based on the literature, a human hand has 16 joints that provide 27 Degrees of Freedom (DoF); a global solution would track all of them. However, some of these DoFs are of minor importance (joints with negligible motions that do not affect the overall motion of the fingers). Therefore, an optimum solution must be able to measure 22 DoFs, while the higher the accuracy in these measurements, the better and more immersive experience a user would feel; all these are important in order to increase the UX within a digital environment.  

The IoT architecture of the MAGOS Glove incorporates components in order to measure the joint angles of fingers and the posture of the hand, transmit wireless the data to a local PC and receive the data required for the haptic feedback. In particular, the MAGOS Glove is comprised by four subsystems: (1) the finger tracking - unique value proposition -(patent pending), as it provides 1/20° accuracy in the measurement of each DoF, (2) a smart sensor that combines accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer to track the hand’s orientation, (3) the HTC Vive 3D localization system, and (4) the haptic feedback comprised by integrated Linear Resonant Actuators (LRA). In the same time, the SW component (MAGOS Core) is a native SDK that includes (1) the User Interface (UI) which controls the HW, (2) the connection to 3rd party applications, e.g. Unity game engine, and (3) any other operation like data recording to be used in related applications. 

MAGOS Platform offers 250 times greater accuracy than its closest competitor, while due to its patent pending technology, it can track 22 DoF and at the same time provide the necessary data reliability upon which applications in an XR environment can be developed.
