5DT Ultra Wireless Kit
The 5DT Ultra Wireless Kit is a plug-and-play kit for the 5DT Ultra series of data gloves. Each belt-worn wireless kit is designed to transmit the data for 2 gloves simultaneously. This means that a single wireless transceiver and single battery pack is used for both gloves, saving both space and power.
Up to 4 wireless kits (8 gloves) can be used at the same time.
- Latest 2.4GHz Bluetooth spread-spectrum technology
- Long battery life - more than 8 hours

- Small form factor - 4.33x3.27x1.65in (110x83x42mm)
- Light weight - 10.6oz (300g) with battery pack
- Belt included as standard
- Spare battery pack included

Features
Advanced Sensor Technology
This new range of data gloves from 5DT features a completely redesigned sensor technology. The new sensors make these gloves more comfortable and give more consistent data across a large range of hand sizes. Cross-correlation has been reduced significantly.

5 and 14 Sensor Gloves Available
The 5DT Data Glove Ultra range is available in a 5 sensor and 14 sensor configuration with a host of options such as right- and left-handed versions.

Interface Options
The Ultra range of data gloves now comes standard with a USB interface, eliminating the need for an external power supply. An open-source, open-platform serial interface is available for workstation
or embedded applications

Bluetooth Wireless Option
A wireless option is available, based on the latest Bluetooth technology for high bandwidth, wireless connectivity up to a range of 20m. The wireless kit can run for 8 hours off a single battery pack. The battery pack can be exchanged in seconds when necessary.

Cross-Platform SDK
The glove SDK is available for Windows as well as Linux and UNIX. It is also possible to interface the glove without the SDK since it has an open-source communications protocol.

Wide Application Support
The 5DT Data Glove is now supported in most of the leading 3D modeling and animation packages

SDK and GloveManager Utility
The 5DT Data Glove Ultra series is supported by a cross-
platform SDK for Windows, Linux and UNIX operating
systems. Included as standard for Windows is the
GloveManager utility which allows you to do the following:
- Perform glove diagnostics
- Record glove data to file
- Support multiple gloves simultaneously
- Stream TCP/IP data for remote operation
- Perform automatic calibration
- Fine-tune calibration
- Create, save & load calibration
