FingerTPS - Overview

The all-new, redesigned FingerTPS™ (Finger Tactile Pressure Sensing) system utilizes highly sensitive capacitive-based pressure sensors to reliably quantify forces applied by the human hand. It is the only practical and comfortable sensor solution that also connects wirelessly to your PC. With our powerful new Chameleon TVR Software, FingerTPS systems can be easily reconfigured and recalibrated for different experiments on the fly.

FingerTPS systems also include synchronized video recording to match tactile data with actual use. Precise force data and video images can be captured and displayed in real-time via PPS's Chameleon TVR Software, which has Tivo®-like versatility in recording time-series, average and peak force measurements.

Key Features and Benefits:
  • Comfortable tactile sensors that are wearable on the hand.
  • User configurable with up to 6 capacitive sensors per hand.
  • Video recording, editing, and playback are synchronized with tactile data.
  • Wireless Bluetooth connectivity allows user mobility and freedom.
  • Simple calibration procedure using an included electronic reference sensor
  • API available for custom configuration and system integration.
