Abstract
This article describes the design and development of a thimble-sensor used for virtual object manipulation. This thimble is specially designed to provide the force information applied on an object by using four FlexiForce sensors and a fingertip orientation. Likewise, the aim of this paper is focused on the mechanical design, which relies on developing an adjustable mechanical tool non-finger-size dependant.
