DIY VibroTactile Gloves

I am trying to get my hands on a pair of DIY gloves. I am a complete electronics illiterate and building the gloves by myself is impossible.

Is there a step by step tutorial which I could show to someone who can help me build the gloves?

I have seen the Buzz Board videos but was unable to understand most of the content.

The person you show the buzzboard stuff to, if they are somebody capable of building the gloves, would also understand the material.

Also, there are plenty of posts on HU with links to other plans for gloves.

And finally, if you join the Zoom calls MBAnderson is so nice to host, you will meet multiple people that have built gloves.

I’m the same! I have no idea what they are talking about which is so frustrating because I’d love to build some. It’s totally out of my league

Those balls may be useful, but they have no relationship to what the gloves are trying to do. Apples and oranges. No offense.

Hi Bolt , IMHO no one knows what gloves and all vibrating objects do to the brain and they might all work the same way, I've read all the research and nothing has been proven scientifically by anyone. Therefore, since we are talking about theoretical hypotheses not proven with the scientific method, any hypothesis is possible.

I think we agree that we don't know if or why either a vibrating ball or the Tass gloves work for sure. I was just pointing out that the theories and mechanisms behind each of these protocols are different. Vibrating balls vibrate every part of your and that is making contact at a certain frequency. Tass gloves send a random pattern of vibrations to individual finger pads in a cycle. I just don't want people to think they get the Tass effect with a vibrating ball. A vibrating ball is more like the CUE1.

I recently posted a video shot by a builder that successfully built a set of gloves. His experience and time investment may be helpful.

You do not have to have any electronics experience to build these. If you can assemble Ikea furniture, you can build these.

Best of luck.
